Motel 6-Goleta, CA - Santa Barbara

The receptionist was very accommodating and helpful. The room was larger than expected. The bed linen looked nice and was comfortable.

I recommend booking two nights at this hotel/ location if you are a sole female on a budget drive through the area because there is a lot of beautiful things to see and do. One night will not be enough to rest and feel rejuvenated during your sole road trip. After one night at the hotel, then one day of sightseeing in the area, I was so exhausted. I wish I had book two nights. My goal was to visit the Santa Barbara Mission for my first time and the hotel was priced fairly well on booking.com, and the hotel turned out to be a clean and safe with kind and friendly front deck staff. But if driving from Palm Springs to Seattle solo it is not worth driving to this hotel after after sunset for only one night stay because the hwy is dark scary and not lighted well and lots of construction on the highway at night enter Santa Barbara area with many closed Hwy lanes. The drive after dark is dangerous if you are feeling tired.

The place is fully renovated and deserves a much higher rating. Need to alert the hotel that they are still sending out to guests booking their services old alerts from the last pandemic stating the place was undergoing intense renovation work, which might confuse and prompt people to cancel their booking.

The room was clean, and I was able to check in early. The person at the front desk was very friendly.

It was quiet. The lovely lady at the front desk gave us a room above the office. The smell of the Jasmine bushes lining the driveway was delightful!
