"Overall the stay was great ! Had made a one night stay for 2 and our dog. I'm glad to say that all Motel 6 locations allow your fur babies to stay free with you. The area was good, it was near by places to go eat and head to the beach. Loved how the front desk rep asked where would we like to have our room, we picked facing the pool since its near by a freeway that can get quiet noisey. We also had forgotten our toothbrush and toothpaste and asked the front desk and they were able to supply us...

"Our overall stay was great and I was excited to stay again until it was time to check out. The resort offers great amenities that are included as part of the fee. One of those is a nightly drink at the bar. When we went to check out, I was told that since we were charged a cheaper resort fee, the nightly drink was not covered.

The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!"
