The surrounding city of Goleta is very nice to walk around to grab brunch, shop for snacks, or enjoy a nice dinner. The area is very safe and the property was located in a very convenient area that's only a 2 minute drive away from nearby stores. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Goleta for a weekend trip.

Clean place. A bit noisy at times but not terrible. The sheets didn't have a natural fiber in them and were on the coarse side. The bed had a bit of a central bowl, but I've had worse.

Motel 6 is really good basic value. Clean room, plenty of hot water, good water pressure. Pool appears ni e and clean but did not use. Easy to walk to Dune Coffee Roasters, Albertson 's grocery, Sprouts, Yougertland, pizza, Chinese, etc. Something for everyone. Easy hwy 101 access. As single woman, felt perfectly safe.
