Independent, West Beach hotels

"This was our first time to Santa Barbara. We had the most amazing time! The hotel room was beautiful. The location was perfect. They had free bikes that we rode along the beach to the pier. The staff was friendly and courteous. The only tiny issue was the pillow cases were not soft at all but otherwise everything was fantastic "

"Staff were friendly, Helpful & customer service oriented. Great property location to beach, dining & activities. Very well maintained property for an older facility."

"Great place! Amazing location, just steps to the beach. Nice pool, newly renovated rooms with cute retro decor. Finding out it is the 1st ever Motel 6 was a sweet surprise!"

"My stay was great! The property was clean and close to the beach and boardwalk. The room was clean as well with allot of room. I will definitely be staying here again!. Oh and the breakfast was delicious. I did lover the fact that they have fresh baked cookies available all day. "

"Clean easy to park."

"Loved the beachfront location and ability to use the property’s bikes to explore the local area. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for our one night stay. We only used one pool area but found it clean and warm. Really lovely stay and would definitely return! "

"Front desk staff efficient and helpful. Beautiful well kept room and very comfortable bed. Bathroom in good condition. Breakfast was probably nice but I didn’t experience it as I was up too late in the morning. Right off freeway exit and only a few miles away from the main parts of State street for a lot more dining options. Will stay again in the future"

"Most hotels (even expensive ones) look the same. If I’m honest, I’m bored of that and wanted a more unique, family-friendly experience, We definitely got that. As we drove up we were greeted by an airstream camper, yard games, and classic car. That set the tone for the rest of the hotel … a mid-century vibe with a modern twist. It’s probably not for everyone, but everyone in my family enjoyed our stay and we hope you do too!"

"Comfortable"
