Fodor's Review:

A half block from East Beach amid fancier hotels sits this basic but comfortable motel, which was the first Motel 6 in existence. It's an incredible bargain for the location and fills quickly; book months in advance if possible. Kids 17 and under stay free. Two sister properties in Carpinteria, 12 mi south of Santa Barbara and 1 mi from the beach, offer equally comfortable rooms at even lower rates. Pros: Less than a minute's walk from the zoo and beach, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Cons: No frills, motel-style rooms, low-quality linens.
