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
