Excellent location and a very cute, retro beach bungalow just a very few min walk to easy beach. I’ve never stayed in a Motel 6, and I was pleasantly surprised by the condition, location and comfort of this property.

Overall it is a good place. The location, 1/2 block from the water is the best thing about it. It is also clean and in good condition. No frills. No coffee makers in the room but they had coffee each morning in the lobby. The pool is clean and the pool area kept up well. No heater, so it is refreshing (especially on a hot day). It is a short drive to good restaurants and Stearn's Wharf.

Bougie Motel 6 vibes… in a good way :) Modern retro decor, super clean, and looks like recently renovated. Room is small but can comfortably fit 2-3 people. Great shower, working drains, and AC that blasts. Nice staff and free coffee at the front desk. Plus, about a 10-minute walk to State Ave. Simple, clean, and convenient.
