I stayed at the Motel 6 Goleta and this was the best Motel 6 I've stayed at. It was in a convenient location, was clean, comfortable and had lots of potty areas for my dogs. I would definitely recommend it.

We are pleasantly surprised by this Motel 6. The staffs are polite, engaging and helpful. The room has all the basic needs, clean and good fresh neutral smell (no cleaning chemical smell nor bad odor). Complimentary coffee and tea in the morning is a plus. We enjoyed the stays.
