Its just an old property. Motel 6 tries to take good care of but after time it shows it's old age. Price was great and location was great. Staff was spectacular. Not sure I would stay again because of the old mattresses.
Dog friendly. Nice area to just spend the night. Kid friendly. Cheaper to stay here when visiting sb. Carp has nice small shopping places. Great beaches. Got to have rustys pizza.be back when visiting 805

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was friendly and helpful but unfortunately the room I stayed in had a weird smell to it, even though we asked for a non smoking room.
It was average across the board. I haven’t stayed in a Motel 6 for over 15 or so years, so maybe it just seemed basic compared to the accommodations that I’m used to. It served it’s purpose of having somewhere to sleep.
Staff at the front desk is always charming and good sense of humor at check in.
I personally Iike the rooms facing the freeway, even though you hear noise of cars, it’s quieter than rooms by the pool.
VERY noisy, internet was slow and the shower head had partially detatched from the wall. Pool was closed and front desk had no idea, laundry machines were broken. Room key stopped working randomly in the middle of the stay and had to be re-coded. They tried to blame the key being near a phone when it hadn't been and the person I was traveling with had the same exact thing happen at the same time.
