We are pleasantly surprised by this Motel 6. The staffs are polite, engaging and helpful. The room has all the basic needs, clean and good fresh neutral smell (no cleaning chemical smell nor bad odor). Complimentary coffee and tea in the morning is a plus. We enjoyed the stays.

Wouldn't recommend.

Mattresses were pathetic condition in room 109. Hair in shower, general poor condition of bathroom walls. No tissues, really? I don't expect much from a Motel 6 these days but I do expect a little better when paying over $120 per night. Non-dairy dry creamer packets for the gross coffee says it all.

I stayed at the Motel 6 Goleta and this was the best Motel 6 I've stayed at. It was in a convenient location, was clean, comfortable and had lots of potty areas for my dogs. I would definitely recommend it.

Dirty Bath aTub, denied request to change rooms!

I am an avid traveler, and this is the first time I was denied when requesting to change rooms when the one given was dirty. There were several available rooms too! The front desk simply said once a room is assigned in their system, it cannot be changed. She said I can complain to the manager in the morning and maybe he might give me a discount! Beware of this and avoid this place at all costs!!
