Room 108, 2 queen beds, a mini fridge, a mini microwave, tv, front door closes but has an opening on the bottom which “can” allow bugs crawl in. Bathroom was clean and simple: shower has excellent/strong water pressure, I took my own towels, used hotel towels for the floor. Basic room to shower, sleep and s..t. Parking is tight, you want to arrive early. It’s 1.5 miles to the boardwalk, a 34 minute walk each way on flip flops.

Never again motel 6
Terrible place, no ac, no extra pillows and provided some flat and small pillows. Very insecure and sketchy. Attendant did provide 1 fan due to AC malfunction for 4 adults 4 kids. Rm 122 and 123. Small Hard to park lot.. never again... I payed too much for these rooms honestly. Id like my money back.

I recommend staying here for short stays or trying to budget, It was clean for the most part though the bathroom floor was a bit dirty/dusty but nothing major. The wifi was a bit slow at times but overall this was definitely a great deal and I would stay here again for the price. If you're looking for something cheap but worth the money I would stay here it was a nice stay.

Not the best!
Beds were dirty and it was obvious they weren’t washed. The toilet was also dirty and had pee on the seat. Shower got water allllllll over the place. Not the best motel 6 I’ve stayed at.
