Room was clean, staff was helpful, came to the room to clean up after we would leave for the day, gave towls when needed for all 4 of us, came and worked on the bathtub drain twoce and fixed it for us, as far as amenties, no pool, no laundry station (washer and dryer) on site oike the booking reads, but there are laundry mats near by. 8 out of 10, would choose them again!

This is a nice and quiet little place. I was traveling with my dog, and there’s plenty of grassy area. Don’t expect nothing fancy, but if you’re just looking for a place to sleep, it’s great.

Staff allowed us to check in early and super friendly. Felt safe in the area for a one night stay. Bathroom clean & very pleased with the fridge & microwave. Definitely recommend for a quick or last minute trip! Probably not ideal for a longer than 2 night stay, but gets the job done!

Just needed a late night stay after concert so I didn't have to drive at night. Price was first concern. But I was happy to find that it was also very nice, the property was off the main road,well maintained and clean. I liked that it was away from the highway noise and lights. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will be going to more concerts at the wharf now that I know where to stay.

Nice property but large dead cockroaches were found under bathroom sink and under bed. As someone with a roach phobia, it was very off-putting. Floor and walls were very dirty also 😕 I wiped everything down with my own Lysol wipes so I was a little more comfortable. We have a toddler that still drinks milk so the fridge was a nice help to keep her milk cold.

I’ll start with the 2 good things about this room/ property. 1. The AC worked wonderfully 2. The water pressure was great. Now I am definitely a person who lives by you pay for what you get but we greatly underestimate that phrase as we walked into our room. We stayed in the downstairs back rooms. The entire floor had been water damaged at some point and never fixed or replaced. The fridge was nearly rusted through. The smell of mildew was very unpleasant. Lots of things needed fixed and or replaced all together. The ice machine was out of service as were the washers and dryers. We plan to come down to the area next year but will absolutely not be staying at this location. The price is great for a quick stay but definitely not up to par for a long vacation.

You get what you pay for and the accommodations matched what we paid. Late night check in was a breeze. While the furnishings were minimalist, the bed offered a good nights sleep. I did have to wear my linen outfit wrinkled because there was no iron available. If you are looking for an inexpensive option close to a public beach this place fits the bill.

What a gem! This is my second stay here in less than a month. This location is by far the best Motel 6 I’ve ever stayed at. Nikki is amazing! Everyone I’ve met on the staff genuinely cares about their facility & the quality of their guests’ stay. They go above & beyond. We always travel with our dog & cat, so we prefer to stay at Motel 6 when traveling. Thank you so very much for a lovely stay!
