This is THE original Motel 6. It’s been updated but still has a mid-century modern charm. Would stay here again!

Good. But could be better.
Above average decor for Motel 6. But the guy at check was just rude and super unfriendly. Rooms are small and have no microwave or coffee makers. You also have to use your room key to get a stingy amount of ice from the ice machine. The descriptions of mountain and ocean views is a bit of a stretch. Mountain view has telephone lines. Ocean view is a sliver due to residential buildings around the property. There are better, less deceptive places in the area.

Disliked: Amenities
Not enough parking...had tonpark on the street the night I left which was very inconvenient when loading the car with multiple trips and animals. Shower drain was clogged and water backed up. Very thin floor and walls and could easily hear neighbors. Did love that you could walk to the beach. Staff was extremely friendly.
