Room was clean, staff was friendly. I will stay again
Pros:

The location was right across the street from the boardwalk, so it was nice to be able to walk to dinner, dolphin cruises, live entertainment etc. They also had a very nice pool on property. We also traveled with our pets and didn't have to pay an extra fee like most places so that was a big plus for me

Cons:

I didn't like that they closed the pool down at 9pm. The sun does not set here until 7:45, so I could not go in until after that as I am very sensitive to the sun. It would be nice to keep it open until at least 10 on my opinion.

Very enjoyable. I highly recommend. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Pros:

Motel 6's do not have a great reputation. That said, I was surprised by how nice the room was and it had been recently remodeled. The beds were very comfortable, and each unit contained a large new TV that had a good variety of channels, and a dorm size refrig. The rooms were very clean as was the bathroom. Even though the motel was mostly full, it was quiet and centrally located to all the local attractions. Great place and good value. It is not a Hampton, but good family accommodations. .Will stay again!

Cons:

The only thing that could have been better was a lack of parking spots. This only occurred on one night.

Pros:

It was one of the best stays I've been too so far

Cons:

The parking was an issue the last night it was difficult to find a parking spot. All spots were taking mainly from people who weren't staying at the motel
