HORRIBLE hotel. The shower was gross and looked dirty. Room smelt like a homeless person. And I was scared to sleep in the bed.

I had a disappointing experience at this Motel 6 location. The room had an unpleasant smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in, and it didn’t seem like any effort had been made to address it before check-in. Additionally, the towels provided were very limited — not nearly enough for a proper stay. For the price, I expected at least a basic level of cleanliness and comfort, but unfortunately, this stay fell short. I won’t be returning to this location and would not recommend it based on my experience.

Actually an underrated spot and such a great place both in and out. The room was clean and furniture was incredibly up to date, the bathroom was nice and I was about 15 minutes away from the beach and everything else great. There’s also a ton of things to do nearby, I’m glad this place is sort of a hidden gem and amazing for the price too. I normally don’t leave reviews out but this place was awesome. I intend on coming back.

No handicap room available

I requested a handicap room 3 weeks before my stay and did not get one room was very small hard to use my Walker could not fit my wheelchair in there the bathroom only had bars in the shower so it was hard to use the restroom I don't understand how I was allowed to book a room asking for those amenities just for them to tell me they didn't have any rooms available when I went to check in

Worst stay ever !

One If The Worst Experiences i have had and I’m a frequent traveler, I get you pay for what you get but this was beyond that. To Start upon check in , I was given one key , after unpacking and checking into our room , there was a homeless man approaching us . When we tried entering our room, the key wasn’t working . I had to leave my 3 year old and wife outside as I go to get a new key . When I went to get a new key , I was told maybe I was holding my phone to close . When I got a new key it worked once and then stop working. Again . So again I had to go back and get a new key . Then as we entered the room , the room smelled so strong and bad . We took videos and photos of everything , there was a bug in one of the beds , there was a burn stain on the other . One of the pillows had the word survive written in it . There was a red spots all over the bathroom mirror . This was just the room . The hotels.com needs to update that people as well love in the hotel . There was consent noise and random people standing outside. We never felt safe . We were constantly getting approached for money or a cigarette, lighter , with my 3 year old . Don’t get me started with at night . We couldn’t sleep. There were alarms so loud at night I think people were breaking in cars I’m not sure but the alarms of the cameras kept us up . We wanted to leave our hotel and room but traveling with a 3 year old sometimes it’s not as easy. Place was over all dirty from floor to ceiling , outside sketchy
The word survive written on bed pillow
Random blood stain in bathroom mirro
Other bed sheet also dirty
