Comfortable for a couple nights
The room was large and clean, beds and pillows comfortable. The water pressure was adequate. The laundry facilities were not available during our two day stay.

Happy with my stay.
I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice our room was. It was very clean, smelled good and we couldn’t hear the traffic. The beds were comfy, pillows were meh. The pool looked nice. The people at the front desk were kind. I’d definitely stay here again.

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.

My dog loves it here too.
I love staying here every time we come but this time I could’ve done without all the long black hair all over the floors in my room/bathroom.
