Great little stop, conveniently located next to the freeway and gas stations, cvs, grocery stores and dining facilities. Not far from Downton SB and local beaches .
The hotel is very convenient to where we go. School, drug store, restaurant, beach and downtown.

This is a good hotel. I've stayed here a couple times. It is clean and comfortable. Staff was attentive and professional. There are things to do and places to eat nearby, which is nice. My only bummer about this place is, parking is pretty tight and no elevator. Thanks, I'll see you again
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.
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.
