- Michael (10/5): -
- Arcadio (10/5): Vuelvo a regresar - Todo muy bien la recepcionista del 24 de abril muy amable eso me pareció excelente lo contrario de la noche anterior
- Colette (10/5): Très agréable - Le personnel est très accueillant et très à l’écoute. L’emplacement est proche d’un centre commercial avec restaurants.
- Vasile (8/5): -
- Thornley (7/5): -
- Arcadio (9/5): Todo lo demás muy bien - Si Lo que no me gustó fue nos querían cobrar $130 dólares más que porque no se avían cobrando cuando le mostré qué me avían cobrando todo de mi banco dijo que todo estaba bien espero que lo denuncien a cuantas personas le dirán lo mismo 😡
- Alessandro (7/5): Ganz gut - Lage war wirklich gut, insgesamt für wenige Nächte in Ordnung
Personal zuvorkommend Der Duschkopf in unserem Zimmer war wirklich alles andere als sauber
- Adriana (6/5): The facility is clean and comfortable. Location is great! - Location is awesome, Great Value!!! Staff in front desk is rude and not friendly at all…
- Tamara (8/5): Great little motel in a great location. - It’s extremely convenient to Linden Square and Carpinteria State Beach. Great value for a safe, clean place to stay. Motel 6 towels are always so thin and the pillows are always flat. However, the staff brought me extras anytime I asked.

- Sabrina (5/5): - Locatie was wel top. Eetgelegenheden dichtbij Ontzettend gehorig! Er zat gewoon een tussendeur in de kamer. Wij hebben gewoon de buurman de hele nacht horen snurken!
140 dollar voor 1 kamer betaald. Hoogste van ons hele trip in 22 dagen tijd, en tevens de minste motel
- Michael (10/5): -
- Brian (10/5): - Front desk lady when I checked in was totally awesome. Needed extra blanket
- Damianos (8/5): -

- Williams (1/5): Reservation Cancelled Without Notice, Price Gouging, and Unsafe Sleeping Conditions - Helpful albeit overworked front desk staff. Clean room. I booked a stay at Motel 6 Carpinteria South on March 8th through Booking.com for $107 for a room with two queen beds. When we arrived on March 28th, we were told, without any prior notice, that our reservation had been cancelled. Both bookings.com and the hotel blamed the other party for the cancellation. While we were there, another guest arrived and was told the same thing, suggesting this is not an isolated incident.
The hotel was fully booked, but after another guest cancelled, we were allowed to rebook a one-bed room for $245. After a 1.5-hour wait and failed attempts to get help from Booking.com (including being hung up on), we still had to pay $176.53 for a room that did not meet our reservation.
No extra mattress or even cushions were provided, forcing three adult-sized people into one queen bed, which is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about basic guest accommodation standards.
I have since attempted to resolve this with Booking.com and have received no response.
At minimum, I expect a refund of the price difference; given the circumstances (including cancellation without notice, extended wait time, and inadequate accommodations), a full refund would be more appropriate.
This experience reflects poor coordination between the property and Booking.com, lack of transparency, and unacceptable treatment of guests. I would strongly caution others against relying on reservations at this property (and through bookings.com) without guaranteed confirmation and clear check-in policies.

- silvia (1/5): - staff was nice room was not cleaned properly. horrible cigarette smell .. paid too much for the room and I didn’t even feel comfortable
- Lynn (6/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): - I got a compliment on my new shirt. Will stay again.
- Ewa Bronisława (10/5): Przyzwoicie - Czysto, miła obsługa Nic
- Kirstin (8/5): - Super clean!
- Kathy in Crestline (9/5): Just a nice play to take the dog. Lots of places for him to sniff, etc. - I stay there one night monthly to visit grandkids. I bring my little doggie. All went well, but second time this happened that the key was turned off at 10am while I was trying to pack up the car! Had to go to the office to re key. This has happened before. While I am trying to pack up the car to check out, the key was turned off.
- Kirstin (9/5): -
- ritapL5866FU (10/5): Nice Motel 6 - pets welcome 😎 - This is the nicest Motel 6 I’ve ever stayed at, requested a courtyard room with a pool in the center, room was clean and quiet and coffee was available in the morning, great location to shops and restaurants 👍
- KYRA (3/5): - Just very loud, grounds kind of gritty, staff was super nice
- Edward (6/5): - the room smells like laundry soap.
- Hernandez (10/5): - Everything
- Danielli (10/5): -
- Sparrow (6/5): - Good area for walking my dog! Staff not very helpful to get left pet blanket sent to our home address!
- KYRA (5/5): Tiring - Dot the front desk is amazing. And actually, she should be working for a 4 star hotel. The problem with my stay was the noise was out of control. And I even had to call and complain.And it didn't stop. I got absolutely no sleep. Noise
- Staci (7/5): Not bad - Location Too noisy with the freeway
- Marcin (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): -
- Evy (7/5): -
- Giovanni (9/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): 10/10 for giving my room requests actual mind and following it up with it - Great check in experience as the front desk gave me the exact room to my "quiet corner room away from people as possible"
First time I got that, quiet experience with no one next door knocking on walls, or listening to their foot steps.
The beds actually had super comfortable mattresses compared to my last few stays at motel 6, so that was a big positive plus The housekeeping arriving super early around 6-7am and pushing their cart very loudly as hinting they want u out cause they want to clean the room. It was multiple times the houskeeping later stand by my door/window for a minute or 2 just listening which made me super uncomfortable, I get they want the most rooms done before their lunch but 7 am is way too early to be pushing guests to leave as we need to have our time and moneys worth to the room.
- Hector (9/5): - Customer service
- Rodolfo (10/5): -
- Kathleen (10/5): - Clean and quiet. Great price.
- Andrea (6/5): -
- Patrick (6/5): Ok - Locatio. The rooms were very small and could barely accommodate 2 queen beds. Very uncomfortable sleeping with 4 people
- IOANNIS (9/5): - Very good service in total.
- Ireneusz (8/5): - yes
- Jason (3/5): - None was offered The price
- Sandi (10/5): I will be staying again soon. - Room very clean. Bed was extremely comfortable. Perfect location. The towels were also a good size. Coffee in room would have been great.
- James (7/5): we stayed there before so we knew it was a ok place to stay all other places nearby were a lot highe -
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Marie (1/5): Didn’t stay because there were visible bed bugs. Can’t get a refund. - Bed bugs. And not getting refunded for bed bugs. As well as booking.com not helping me to get a refund and the hotel manager being incredibly difficult. I will NEVER use booking.com again because of the lack of support despite the proof I provided with photos and that the county has since required them to treat for bed bugs.
- Kinga (5/5): Overpriced - The room didn't look like on the picture when I was making the reservation. The room was very, very basic and small. Definitely, not worth $246 per night.
- Declan (9/5): -
- Christina (5/5): -
- Vivian (9/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - The staff and the cleanliness of my room and the respect from the front desk
- Ainhoa (6/5): Pet-friendly solo de nombre y poco confortable en invierno ❄️🐾 - Es un alojamiento pet-friendly, lo que siempre es un punto a favor si viajas con mascotas. La ubicación puede ser práctica para una parada corta. La habitación era muy pequeña y estaba en una segunda planta sin ascensor. Al llegar faltaban toallas y tuvimos que pedirlas. Pasamos frío, ya que viajamos en diciembre y solo disponían de aire acondicionado en modo frío. Aunque aceptan mascotas, no ofrecen ningún detalle para ellas, como cama o comedero.
