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!

One of our favorite stays from our California road trip and we were only here for one night. With out a doubt coming back and spending way more time here. Amazing front desk staff and with a less than 2 minute walk to the beach, I couldn’t had asked for a better stay on the Cali trip.

Room was generally clean - shower glass door and around the sink had residue spots from previous guest. Nice Dove bathroom/shower products. Had to borrow an iron and ironing board from the office, not provided in room. Strict check-in & out times. Plenty of parking.Great location next to beach in quiet area. Allows dogs and has a very small dog potty area with pop bags provided. Ice machine was out of service.
