Carpinteria motels

Cons: We booked a room through Booking.com via KAYAK . There was no opportunity on the site to specify a non-smoking room. It never occurred to me while I was making the reservation that I would need to specify. The clerk said we should have reserved through the Motel 6 site. As they were full except for one non-smoking room, we had to choose whether to stay in a tobacco permeated room or cancel our reservation & find another place to stay. The clerk let us into the room to help us decide if we could tolerate it. When we decided we had to find another hotel, they cancelled our reservation without any problems. This is not a critique of Motel 6. I am very disappointed that Booking.com and/or KAYAK didn't allow me to choose a non-smoking room in advance or at least redirect me to the Motel 6 reservation site where I could have selected a non-smoking room.

Cons: There was quite a bit of noise leakage from the walkway outside our door. The room key had to be reset a few times. The coffee came in styrofoam cups (but hey, it was free!)

Cons: It was way overpriced.

Cons: Broken ice makers, hot stuffy rooms, beds were as hard as a rock. Rooms were attempted to be updated, Ikea style- but much was broken and flimsy. Bare bones, for $100+/nt. I expect more.

Cons: 6am Sunday morning , the room door is opened by someone violently and the dead bolt stopped them. As I bound out of bed to proctect my wife I am transformed into a lion protecting its lady against a Trump son with a rifle trying to cut my tail off. I fling the door open with a rage looking for someone to fight. No one there. Fall back asleep, 7 am.. phone rings RING/RIiiIiinG. I pick up the phone. No one there. !!! 8 am, the maid enters to clean the room, boom, dead bolt saves the day again. We are tired. I check out and let the desk man know what happened. He was nice and promised to have management call me. I am still waiting for the call. I feel like we are just throw away items like so many trump supporters grabbed in the puśśy. We won't be staying there again. Phil was very nice though.

Cons: For the money I paid is a deal

Cons: Missing basic amenities such as a blow dryer, iron, shampoo/conditioner, mini fridge, etc. that motels typically offer. Would have been nice to at least have a blow dryer.

Cons: Sheets felt like sandpaper, musty pool smell throughout the whole place, paid $200/night and they don't even provide shampoo or a second bedside table. I will definitely not be coming back.

Cons: No amenities, no coffee, no fridge, had to ask for blankets, not much for the money.

Cons: Towels so thin you can see through them Ice machines broken all weekend (big problem when many of us were staying for a lacrosse tournament) Would not accommodate a late check out(again, here for lacrosse tournament and my daughter had to drive home without showering after her last game. Poor customer service
