I've stayed here before and loved it because it's by the water. Currently there's many unhoused people near the property - however they were much more polite than the man who checked me in. Because I initially planned on having someone stay with me and then the plan changed he continued to chastise me acting as if I was going to sneak him in. The way he interrogated me about the stay and threatened to charge me more made me feel as if he expected me to be a working girl with a line of men standing outside. I was horrified and felt harassed by his raised voice and demeanor - but since I could not get a refund I'm unfortunately staying the night.

Liz canceled my stay because I came in after 3:00am my plain was late coming in and now I had to sleep in my rental car , also this lady was so disrespectful that I suggested more training Especially being the night audit, she was very rude and unsettled I think that she was using drugs behind the counter as I recognized powder on her nose, and in a bill that she was holding.

The ice machine consistently does not work. The lobby to the main office is closed to customers who have booked rooms. Additionally, they have changed their policy to applying a hold on your credit card for incidentals, which is not disclosed until you arrive at the property....this is Motel 6, not some luxury hotel. Horrible service and the property is dirty. I will not return.
