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.

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 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.
Diane, 1-night trip

A terrific stay!!
Helen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
