Not the best area but a clean hotel room with a microwave and mini fridge. The shower is large which is nice. I wish they had shampoo and conditioner. One of the bath towels was stained but overall for one night not bad at all.

Meh
What Hotels.com said I'd be charged at the motel was not the price. It was about $10 more. I paid cash and did not get a receipt. The door was not fitted right. Huge gap around it, where you could clearly see daylight. Toilet wasn't secured and rocked when sat upon, as well as the toilet seat. Seems like shoddy workmanship. While they are a pet friendly motel, which is the #1 reason why I stay at Motel 6, there wasn't anywhere for her to go potty. I had to walk down the road.

Overall my room was spacious and the staff was nice. Convenient location. There was no coffee maker, iron, shampoo or hairdryer included. My sheet had burn holes and possibly blood stains on it. The staff member said he would address it when I complained.

Disappointed
I knew it wasn't the best but there were just too much noise. Higher quality windows would have helped. No comfort. It's a place where you go to sleep and get out.

You get what you pay for. If you can spare spending some extra money on a better place, do it. Otherwise, it’s a place to lay your head at night, but don’t forget to bring an extra pillow. Location is fabulous. My biggest complaint was that our room smelled very intensely of some sanitation type product. It was very off-putting.

The parking lot is super small and tight. One long truck will block it so you can not get in or out of the lot.

For the cost- I’ve been to better.
Check in counter person was very blah - no personality, no smile, no acknowledgment when I walked, No I’ll be with you right after I help this gentleman, no how’s your day going or anything. Gave him my ID checked me in gave me my room key. Good size room. Top sheet had some spotted stains. Pillows have no cushion completely flat. Shower head spray had water coming out with strength but a lot of water was still coming out from the bottom spout wasting a lot of water. No towel rug when u get out of the shower we had give up a hand towel for it so we wouldn’t slip getting out while drying ourselves. Room smelled of A LOT and I mean A LOT of either a cleaning smell or smelling spray to mask a smell in the room. My noise was irritated right when I opened the door as it hits you right in the face! They need to open and air out the rooms after cleaning. Side table tops are not part of the table it’s just a piece added on so u need to make sure it doesn’t fall off and drop on your feet. The bottom of the bed frame is a thin metal so when you accidentally hit it with your feet it sounds like loud thunder! The minimalist ceiling light is super bright it’s like one of those lights in Vegas they have for you to stay awake to keep you gambling. We had to turn off the room light and turn the bathroom light on instead. Lighting here was not relaxing. Up side room included a mini fridge and microwave

When we got to our room as soon as we opened the door it smelled like cigarettes really bad. We left to the beach and window cracked open but did not help we were from out of state and it was already booked and late to move elsewhere. Me and my child couldn’t not sleep the pillows and bed smelled so bad like cigarettes and they had satins, we slept with our beach towels on the bed.
