Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

Quite an unexpected surprise! I originally went because of the location. It's on the beach and relatively affordable, so I didn't have high expectations. But as soon as I entered the room, I found that it was clean and tidy, and the bathroom and facilities were not inferior to other hotels!

The location was convenient and it was great for travelers with a car to park, because you can take the car out if you like or just leave it parked. We were able to walk to our dinner one of the nights and it was only a short drive for breakfast. I loved the balcony, it was the best way to enjoy the winter sun.

【よかった点】 立地が最強です! サンタバーバラ駅からこちらのホテルが見えるほど近いです。駅から徒歩2分ほどで到着します。 ・ホテルの共用部に電子レンジや飲み物などが設置されており、無料でパンも提供されています。パンはとても美味しかったです。 ・無料でお酒が一杯飲めます。ホテルの方が作ってくれます。 ・ホテルもとてもおしゃれです!隅々まで凝らしてあるので、ホテルの内部にも目を向けてみると楽しいです。 【いまいちな点】 ・お風呂 トイレとお風呂が近すぎ、かつ狭いです。かなり使いにくいので、要注意です。

This was the best hotel on our West Coast trip, even more comfortable than the 5-star hotel we stayed at in Las Vegas. We liked it so much we booked another hotel from the same chain later in Monterey. Parking was super convenient, right in front of our room, and it was free – plus they had breakfast! Where else can you find that? The scenery was beautiful, and it was incredibly kid-friendly. The pool was heated, though we didn't use it. There's also a self-service laundry room with dryers, but you need to download an app to top up and use them. Highly recommend booking a stay here!

There is a buffet in the afternoon. There is wine and fruit biscuit cheese. Very good. The room was very very clean. The bedding is soft. The room is small, and the family recommends a large room type. 2 minutes walk from the train station.

Room facilities are simple and like this style. There are great pools and bars in the public area. The hotel is located in the center of Barbara and is very convenient to walk to the main street. You need to drive to the beach and charge $30 a day for parking.

The location is fantastic, right by the beach with beautiful scenery, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel breakfast is quite good for a US hotel, and the service is very friendly. It was a great experience. My child was very happy to ride a bicycle around in the morning! 🥳
