Smiles and great attitude can make the difference
A friendly smile at the end of your day can make the difference of how your day will end.
Having an exceptional front desk personal can make the difference.

Absolutely stay here again!
The hotel was conveniently located to be able to walk to restaurant, shops and the beach. It was in a quiet safe area with nice staff.

Smallest Motel 6 Room I've stayed in.
This is the smallest Motel 6 room I have ever stayed. Everything in the room was cramped including the split bathroom door that only opens outward into the main room. At best, this room should only have a queen sized bed instead of 2 double beds to make it comfortable for the travelers. There was a bus load of high school soccer team staying there at the same night and the noise carried on til midnight. Also, I was charged at the front desk more than the amount of my reservation through Hotels.com. Motel 6 and Hotels.com needs to figure this out because Sandy at the front desk could not explain why that is. She is very helpful though, not her fault.

The property and the room was very well maintained. Beds were comfortable. Good for a motel 6.
My only complaint is with the pipes, we could hear loudly every time someone opened the faucet or the shower in the room above or next to us. Luckily, nobody showered in the middle of the night.

Best beach town in Southern California
We’ve stayed in this hotel on and off for 15 years. We’re always up here looking to buy a home for retirement goals.

Power outage
The power was out for an extended amount of time. No heat or ac no light. The poor front desk lady was bundled up in tons of layers and had a glow stick as a source of light. She was incredibly sweat and nice but driving up at 11PM and the whole hotel being dark is terrifying. We got up to our room with our flashlights and got into our room which was extremely cold and the blankets provided were super thin and not helpful with heat so my wife and I had to sleep with our clothes on.

Avoid Room 106 - Bad Mold
Worst Motel 6 stay ever!! The front Desk knows that Room 106 has mold in it but they still continue to let guests stay in this room. They do not fix anything and just clean the room and let other guests stay there. After complaining the next day they gave a room on second floor which was ok.
