Worst front desk ever
Pros:

The location was good. Couple of minutes walk from the beach.

Cons:

The front desk person on the phone was very rude and unprofessional. We tried to change our dates due to storm and Booking.com told Motel6 has to approve. Contacted Motel 6 and the staff informed manager has to approve but the manager was not available even after waiting for hours. Instead of apologizing for not getting the manager on the phone, they just ridiculed our request and ended the call abruptly. I have never experienced such behavior anywhere.

Beachtastic!
Pros:

The place was clean and updated. Location location location! Just across the street and ocean view. The staff was super sweet and helpful.

Cons:

Parking lot got full after returned from dinner. So had to search for street parking which was hard to find. But still worth it, I would stay again!
