Gayot "While Southern California boasts its fair share of luxury hotels, budget by the beach is a rarity, especially in Santa Barbara."
Fodor's "A half block from East Beach amid fancier hotels sits this basic but comfortable motel—the first Motel 6 in existence and the first in the chain to transform into a contemporary Euro-style abode." Full review
Lonely Planet "The very first Motel 6 to ‘leave the light on for you’ has been remodeled with IKEA-esque contemporary design and flat-screen TVs." Full review
Frommer's "One of the best values in town, this hotel also comes with a bit of history...in Motel 6 fashion, there are no frills, but guestrooms are clean and comfortable, some furnished with microwave" Full review

Gayot "This small motel with minimal landscaping is among the city's best options for budget travelers --- particularly families."
