This hotel is close to the beach and other very expensive hotels. It’s been renovated fairly recently with a retro theme so it’s nice and clean. I’ve stayed in another hotel close by, and this was much cleaner and in better condition.

For a Motel 6 (the first ever, apparently), this one can't be beat! The location is ideal and it's clearly been recently renovated and is quite nice. We were on the ground floor with peek-a-boo ocean view (2nd floor would be ideal), but it was quiet, super comfy bed, really nice shower. No complaints!
