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.

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.

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.

I likedthe staff and room. I feel sorry for the owner because it is SO DANGEROUS. Homeless & mentally ill EVERYWHERE.. I took the dogs off property to pee and at the end of the block is the City Jail with prisoners. Yicks! Very clean and nice people but the hood makes it a BIG PASS

What you would expect for a motel 6. You get what you pay for. It’s right off the main road. There is not much parking the lot is pretty tight to move around in. The stay was pretty quiet couldn’t hear the neighboring rooms. The comforter on one of the beds had a small stain. The only real problem was the whole room reeked like cigarettes. They charge $50 deposit never got it back I rented the room to rest as I was too tired to drive home was only there for maybe 4 hours to take a quick nap. No reason why I shouldn’t have received my deposit back.

My room was clean, met the requirements for a basic minimum-price motel. The location is right next to a main street, so it can be noisy. Ask for a room away from the street
