Pros:

It was a low price and could bring my dog.

Cons:

My room smelled like cigarette smoke.
There were a lot of men just hanging around.
There were people being noisy after 10 pm and before 8 am.
The grounds were very dirty.
The woman who checked me in was very pleasant.
I believe there were men soliciting sex.

Pros:

El lugar donde esta ubicado esta bonito con la puesta del sol el amanecer y atardeceres muy bellos

Cons:

En primer lugar, no hay nevera para poner mercado ni mucho menos microondas para calentar mercado. 2 No hay servicio de limpieza no estan pendientes de limpiar sabanas nuevas, tuallas limpias , cambiar basura y asear baño. Definitivamente fue una experiencia fatal por falta de servicio a la habitacion y el tener microondas oh nevera al menos pequeñita para los huespedes que nos alojamos por mucho tiempo y , Definitivamente no volveria a hospedarme en este lugar a parte muy caro senti el precio para tan mal servicio.

Pros:

I loved the location.i was honestly skeptical bc I have never stayed in a motel 6 but it was perfect for my needs the 2 nights.it was clean and no bugs.thats all I cared bout to be happy.the location was nice by the water

Cons:

Microwave didn't work.and there's a homeless couple with a dog living on picnic table but I will say they didn't bother me.as long as they have somewhere safe to sleep.
