"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."

"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"
