I was pleasantly surprised by the well taken care of Motel 6. I gave it a shot based on other reviews and it was just what we needed. It is by no means fancy; just simple and basic. And while they don’t have all the extras like shampoo and conditioner, the place is tidy, inexpensive and convenient walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach.

First time I’ve ever stayed at a Motel 6. Was pleasantly surprised by ease of checking in and room cleanliness. Has laminate floors so better than carpet to clean. Bed was firm but comfortable and pillows were comfortable. Just needed a place to crash overnight by myself and this was a great choice. Don’t expect fancy soap or shampoo tho 😂

This hotel is really close to the beach. Room was clean and staff was friendly. I don’t know why this hotel has 2 star rating, when Ive stayed at other motel 6s and this one was by far the cleanest with the most friendliest staff. There was a sign at the desk about pets and I didn’t realize that motel 6 WAS pet friendly. She asked if we had pets and we said we had two cats; and we showed her pictures. So next time we’ll bring the cats.
