Excellent Motel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hadn’t stayed at a Motel 6 in years, but this place really passed the test. The room was rather small, but it was very nicely designed in cute retro, the bed and pillows were comfy and the TV was large and good. The front desk clerk and housekeepers were very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them when checking out. Location was perfect, as the beach is a block away and many restaurant choices are within walking distance.

Totally unlike most Motel 6s. Adorably appointed. Everything handy and convenient—-incredibly well thought out. Fun artwork. Very chill. Across from the ocean. GREAT PRICE esp for SB. So clean, so new. Barbie and Ken would have loved it for a BEACH TRIP. But you could hear everything from other rooms which was a real downside. They just forget about soundproofing. Sigh.

Good value for the money
The front desk personnel are friendly and welcoming. Our room was fine. It had all that we required. Clean and well thought out. I found the mattress less than great. Not terrible just not great.
