Cant beat the location for the price. Rooms could definitely be cleaner though, and staff was a little odd and unwelcoming. Also SO SO loud. All we heard at night was cars and the crosswalk. But overall a decent budget choice close to the beach that has renovated rooms.

So the hotel says beachfront but it is not actually beachfront it is 2 blocks from then beach and there is a very busy street right in front of hotel. The room was supposed to be ready by 3, however, when we got to the hotel at 3:15 our room was not ready. They gave us a room facing the street and it was very loud and noisy.

The room was like lipstick on a pig. The walls were paper thin. The bed was very lumpy. They charge you for parking, above and beyond your room price. In short I’ve stayed in nicer Motel 6’s. It also seems as though there is not enough parking for all the rooms they have.

In the middle of the night, my bathroom sink begin to fill up with water from the drain upstairs I think. The gurgling bubbles smelled terrible. I sent staff a video. Staff put me into another room that night. This room had a tub with a very slow drain so when we took a shower, we were wading in water. On a positive note staff was very pleasant and professional. Also another positive note was they had chairs for people to use on the beach which was handy. Location was awesome, but I’m not sure I would go back.
