We were so impressed by how well-run this property is — clean, comfortable, and with an incredibly polite, attentive staff who clearly care about the guest experience. Our room on the second floor had a lovely ocean view and a fun retro décor that added so much character. It was also super functional, with everything you could possibly need while away from home. The bed? Amazing. One of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. The little touches made a big difference — fresh, white towels, nice-smelling Dove toiletries, and even complimentary coffee in the lobby. There's also an ice machine and a cozy pool to relax by after a day out. Free parking. Location-wise, it’s perfect: just a short walk to the beach and a great base for exploring the charming Santa Barbara. If the name “Motel 6” gives you pause — don’t let it. This place breaks all the Motel 6 stereotypes. It’ was fantastic stay! 👌

All hotels with pools in Santa Barbara

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.

Staff was very positive and helpful. Rooms were nicely cleaned as often as you requested. Nice swimming pool. Free bike rental. Pool and beach towels are provided for your use. Great location to many walkable shops and restaurants in Coast Village Montecito. Butterfly beach is a 12-15 minute walk away and is beautiful (but no bathroom facilities.) Many other nice beaches (with facilities) are a 10 to 20 minute drive away.

The location is very good, we walked to down town and the beach. Room and property was very clean. Personel was very friendly. We had to pay for parking our car. There is no breakfast, but we could take coffee, tea or water and cakes or fruit for free. That was very good. It was a good room, spacious and nice. Nice swimming pool and hot tub.
