Room was not ready due to staffing shortage, but I got a room on 2nd floor instead of ground so that was good. Had to have cc present so glad I had a back-up.

Surprisingly clean and in a great location for a Motel 6. Not your typical aesthetic for these motels, making the stay mostly enjoyable. It is in a great location, only one street away from the beach and main road. Lots of stuff nearby including downtown SB. The only downside is that the walls are very thin so noisy neighbors will be bothersome. You can hear conversations clearly. Aside from the shower seeming as if it had been walked on with shoes, all other aspects of the room and hotel as a whole were clean and accessible.

Guy on check-in desk was taking a personal call all the time he was dealing with our check-in, not impressed. He gave us our room key cards without explaining where our rooms were as he exited the office to continue his personal call. Rooms were small but clean. No facility to make a hot drink, just vending machines outside. Woken in the early hours by loud arguing coming feom the car park area. Close to the beach and everything is within easy walking distance. Convenient for a 1 or 2 night stay only.
