False advertisement These rooms are not ocean view as advertised. There are series of other hotels in front of motel 6 blocking the view. You will not be getting what you are paying for with this motel. The first room I was assigned had no towels & had taco bell trash still in trash can. The gentleman at the front desk was able to upgrade me to different room that was prepared for guests. The interior for these rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. Microwave was not clean though. Everything else was clean in that room. Location is very walkable. I’m not hating on this motel. But, when a customer pay for something, they expect to get what they payed for.

The property claim a beach view but not really the case. The room is super small even being a double bed room. The vending machine is outrageously over priced. Parking is small and not easy. The USB ports did not work to charge phones. Also ice machine does not work without room key. Shower was ok nice and hot water.

Location is superior; quick beach access. The room was clean but spartan. Outside of the building was retro; the inside was economy. Don’t expect a hot shower- lukewarm was the best I could get; that was disappointing. Property was clean and safe. Excellent neighborhood.
