My dog loves it here too.
I love staying here every time we come but this time I could’ve done without all the long black hair all over the floors in my room/bathroom.

Decent stay
Overall, the stay was good. We encountered an issue at check in. We booked an accessible room and they didnt have anymore available due to "over booking." It took them a little while but after making a few calls they gave us a room on the ground floor. I guess its considered an upgrade. The room was bigger than other rooms.
The room itself was clean and well kept. Only downside was the beds- not very comfortable but also not horrible. Not bad for one night stay.

A good deal
Nice stop for the night. Room was small but we went to eat at a grea brewery with a food truck so didnt spend much time there. Beds were comfy, room on second floor was dark, air conditioner was quiet.

The two ladies working the front office were so efficient and compassionate. We were checking in due to fire evacuations and they made us feel safe and welcomed.

Smiles and great attitude can make the difference
A friendly smile at the end of your day can make the difference of how your day will end.
Having an exceptional front desk personal can make the difference.

Best beach town in Southern California
We’ve stayed in this hotel on and off for 15 years. We’re always up here looking to buy a home for retirement goals.

Clean room with contemporary decor and a surprisingly comfortable bed for a Motel 6. Definitely at the top end of the quality range for Motel 6 properties I've stayed at.

The check-in and checkout process was very easily, and the staff was polite and friendly. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean and it’s not a great location, walking distance from restaurants, shops, and bars and the beach.
