Good review
I want to comment about the phone service I had with the front desk agent. He was professional, and courteous, and my request for a disabled room was accommodated when I arrived late at night.
Thanks

At the rate we paid for it the room was dirty
The bed the bathroom and the floor were somewhat clean but the other places such as shelves, electric switches were covered with dust and grime.

Our stay here was mostly great considering the price. The property backs up to the freeway, so light sleepers should beware, and ask for a room toward the front of the motel if available.

The Motel6 in Goleta was better than I expected. The room was very functional and somewhat updated, albeit a bit tight for two people with two beds... AC worked well and for my memories of Motel 6, the hotel (and AC) was quieter than usual. Very pleasant and helpful employees.

Motel 6 Goleta, CA-Santa Barbara is our "go-to" motel when we visit and pick up our daughter from UCSB every year. The rates are reasonable and our room is always clean. We love the room set-up, very cozy. Beds and pillows are so comfortable! Office staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Impressed with Motel 6. Simple, clean, comfy, & pretty good service. Although, at 10:30 I asked for a late check out for 11:30, which was approved. However, then I had to get out of shower because desk lady forgot she approved & was banging on my door at 11:05.

We only stayed one night, the price was a bit high but it’s expected anywhere near Santa Barbara. The room was clean, plenty of towels and bed was comfy.
