We stayed at this Motel 6 with low expectations given the price, and it ended up being about what we anticipated. Pros: • Check-in was quick and easy. • The room was decent enough for our short stay. • Good location—close to Solvang and Santa Barbara without breaking the bank. • Convenient highway access. • Nearby gas stations, fast food, and a grocery store. Cons: • The room could have been cleaner and is in need of upgrades. • Very noisy neighbors late at night, with no enforcement from staff. • Parking lot felt sketchy—people drinking, playing loud music, and even leaving a urine trail near my car. • Someone left a puppy unattended in their room that barked nonstop, and it didn’t seem like staff checked on it. • Lots of loitering outside at all hours; people smoking near the rooms, and with the doors not sealing well, smoke carried inside. • Weak WiFi. • Not enough pillows. • Poor lighting in the room. • Weak water pressure. • Ineffective AC. • No elevator—be prepared to carry luggage upstairs if you’re on the second floor. Overall, it’s fine if you just need a budget-friendly place to crash, but don’t expect comfort or peace and quiet.

Rooms appears to be remodeled. Floor is now vinyl but obviously they don't clean or mop it for new guests. Minimal in-room facilities, no ref no microwave. For coffee, you have to walk to the office to get some. Same with microwave, it is only in the office. They have vendo machines. I asked the cleaning staff to change our beddings while we were at the room, and she says we need to ask the office. Did not bother as we have to leave soon. For the price, its good enough.

I understand that Motel 6 is cheap and that amenities that you would find at a nicer lodging facility are not offered here and that is understandable and expected. However this place was absolutely disgusting! Two major issues, the towels were not clean and still had hairs in them. Second there were bugs all over the room. I even found some inside the bed sheets. They were not bedbugs but some type of pincher bug. When I confronted the front desk about it she literally told me there was nothing they could do about it and that I just had to deal with it. I will never stay at this facility again and I would be hard-pressed to stay at another motel six again!

This motel is a complete dump. It looks as though it is for the sole purpose of housing passing by transients. Don't fall onto the beds because you will feel the base board underneath the mattress because the mattress is so thin. There was someone's black, long hair all over the shower's wall and floor. There wasn't a bathtub, just a tile shower that looks like it belongs in a locker room. It had mold a mildew throughout it...all along the wall tiles and the ceiling. Some of the drywall baseboards missing and there was mold on it. I checked out early and was provided an apology, a refund for the unused night, and discount because of the mold. The staff was very friendly, but I took off stars for the housekeeping. The location is walking distance to the grocery store, pharmacy and restaurants and about 2 miles from Solvang.

I booked a room here because it was my last option in regards to availability and price. When I arrived the office clerk was nice. But then I went to my room and couldn't get in, the key card wasn't working and had to return to the office, I tried it again and it still gave me trouble, eventually worked. When I entered the room it smelled musty, then I noticed a desk that had damage, next I went to use the bathroom and that was the worst part. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The grout was moldy. I really wanted to leave but it was late and there were no other places available at the time. But especially I wasn't going to get a refund back. I couldn't ask for a different room apparently this was the last one. The location is great right off the freeway and shopping. But as far as cleanliness, there's a lot to be desired.

We stayed at Motel 6 because the holiday had our preferred location unavailable, and it was in the desired location. More expensive than it should have been for the condition (why can't housekeeping clean behind a bathroom door?), no coffeemaker in room, no one at the front desk at morning checkout, broken ice machine, the room had a profound tobacco smoke smell near the adjoining door/sink area, and paper-thin walls where you could hear full conversations in the room next door. No plans to stay here again for our next trip to visit family.

It really is a hit and miss with Motel 6’s. But you get what you pay for. For one night it was fine. The room I had was two double beds where we had to scoot one of the beds out of the way because the bathroom door wouldn’t close. The room was very small. The beds were SO uncomfortable and we could hear people walking and running up above us until late. The room only seemed unclean because it’s old and had a few eye soars like a much needed paint job and some chipped wood on the walls. The front desk man was very nice and courteous and that is always a plus for me. For a motel 6 it seemed pretty safe on the outside. I probably wouldn’t stay more than 1 day because the beds really do suck and I have a bad back.

When I came back at 3:30-3:45 the room was still not ready and they told me to wait another 30 minutes. I had to downgrade from a suite to a 2 beds regular room.

This is probably the best Motel 6 we've stayed in. The condition of the room is above average of a typical Motel 6; others are mostly dirty, sketchy, run-down type of motel. The customer service is suprisingly better than other 3 or 4 star hotels. You get courtesy calls which is nice and the staff are friendly. Both Emily (day shift) and Thomas (night shift) are accommodating which really made the stay that amazing. Highly recommended!

The Motel 6 in Buellton was very convenient near the freeway and near Sovlang. During certain holidays, many hotels in Solvang increase their prices, heavy traffic and hotels were filled. Since Motel 6 is just a few miles away, it was convenient and the price was half of the other hotels.

There are more nicer places to stay in but I spend more time out and about than I do indoors when traveling to Buellton. I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere so that being said, it’s an okay place to stay in for a couple of nights. My favorite place for a beer is close buy, Firestone Walker Brewery, as are other great places to eat.
