We stayed at this property because it is the first Motel 6. While the room are on the smaller side, the decor was cute. It is unclear to us the difference between a standard room and deluxe room. The front staff was friendly. Cons: housekeeping was not offered unless we request it; there was no extra roll of toilet paper and we ran out; our room keys had to be reprogrammed every day of our stay, and we had very nosy neighbors who were drinking in front our room and who made a mess.

Clean and convenient property located close to the beach. For a Motel 6 it was definitely high quality. Staff was able to allow me an early check in for a small fee of $25. It was very appreciative after a long drive.
