The room I was in had a weathered look: cracked floorboards and beat up furnishings. Also, really outdated. Looks nothing like the room in the picture. There was no blow dryer!? Beds were hard, small and uncomfortable. I had to use a pair of scissors I happened to have brought with me to open up the soap and shampoo packets, which were impossible to tear. Was on the first floor beneath apparent elephant trainers who were putting their beasts through the entire act: Stomping and thumping for hours. I skipped staying the second night that I'd already paid for. Luckily, I was in town for a wedding and only lived about fifty minutes away and drove home. And this is supposed to be the BETTER of the two Motel 6s in Carpinteria. The staff was nice and the cleaning crew stopped by, so service was fine. Would not recommend to visiting friends or family.
