location is not that bad, its next to the freeway. the room is barely hanging on, overall clean but needs more renovating. No Toiletries, no microwave, no fridge, no breakfast, towels are thin, the tv remote didn't work. parking stalls are narrow, bed cover were just a scratchy blanket and sheets, the a/c worked well. for the price, its not worth it. the staff is friendly although the housekeeping forgot to place extra towels, not sure if front desk forgot to communicate this but i had to go down to get towels. No ants or bugs or dirty room, just low quality motel. overall, id give this place a 5/10.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The area was better than expected. Roaches in the room were a deal breaker. When they were on top of the microwave and i killed a few of them, it was comical. When i found one in the bed, i wasnt laughing anymore. Gross room, thin walls.

Thanks Motel 6 Beach for a great stay! What more could somebody want? Chick fil A & In & Out Burgers up the street, Benihana next door and one of the best Ralph’s grocery store just down the street. Did I mention how close the beach is! This place has food galore with a microwave and a plethora of drinks in the ice room. Brand new washers & dryers that are large tub front loaders. The staff is the best! Especially the gentleman that just got the new SUV! He deserves a raise!

Very unpleasant, service desk was great! Can’t complain about that. The room was terrible. It looked very clean but it smelled like they wiped it down with dirty rags. Beds were clean though, but very uncomfortable. The A C did not work, so it was very hot, we could not sleep. And to top it off there were roaches. I feel terrible to have to give this review, but it was a disappointment, and hopefully they fix things. I have stayed at Motel 6’s and never had issues , very disappointed, and it wasn’t even cheap.
