Good location

Just steps from the beach, it’s in a good location. Room was modern and bed was comfy. Room was quite noisy, you could hear the room next door talking and the water running in the pipes. Service was just okay, person who checked us in was checking in multiple people at a time in an attempt to be efficient but it wasn’t. It was reasonably priced but probably wouldn’t stay again.

Not Your Typical Motel 6

Super Cute Vintage Hotel. You can see the ocean from the hotel and you can't beat the price point. The rooms are super clean and decorated in the "vintage style". Definitely not your typical Motel 6...I loved it.

Great location, peace and quiet.

Great location for a short walk to the beach. About a 30 minute walk to the downtown area. Plenty of parking. Nice enough room in a very quiet area.

Good stay with minor cleanliness issues

Very good location, just a few minutes walk to the beach. Charming exterior and room decor with a beachy vibe and retro-style design - including an old rotary-style phone and rounded mini fridge in aquamarine colors. I loved the design of the chair in the room also. Cleanliness of the room could have used a few touch-ups - stain missed on the fridge door, a handful of loose dirt and crud in one of the nightstand drawers, and a strand of hair in the shower. Not dealbreakers - it looked like they might have been short-staffed? Other areas looked really good - sinks, countertops and mirrors were spotless, as was the rest of the shower and toilet. Matress could have used flipping or turning - one portion was sunk in from where people probably sit on the bed when they're not sleeping in it. Very warm bedding and it was also very clean. I would definitely stay here again and still recommend this Motel 6. We still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and slept very well. No noisy neighbors and overall comfortable stay. Very quiet despite being sold out. Also appreciate the friendly guy who checked us (name was Jonathan I believe). Quick and courteous service.

Great value, laid back vibe

We didn't expect a Motel 6 to be quite this nice! It was very clean and updated. Decorated in retro beach style. Very convenient to beach and highways. Quiet neighborhood. Front desk staff was very laid back, not overly friendly but still, our stay was nice.
