Great Stay!
Check-in was easy, and the front desk staff was very friendly. The room was clean and the perfect size for a short stay. I only stayed one night, but the location couldn’t have been better—close to the fair, restaurants, and the beach. Would definitely stay again

Staff was nice and accommodating. Parking was fairly simple/easy, and the place was honestly nicer than I expected, but there was a bit of a noise leak from the door frame and I did catch a solitary spider.

I like how easy and convient it was to book. The staff was super helpful and even helped us get a room on the bottom level for my mother. The rooms were clean and the pool was even clean and lit up for swimming.

The location is great and looks decent from the outside. Inside, it looks like a typical motel. Very old looking, and the bed and sheets were very uncomfortable. Sheets felt like sand paper. Still good for the price though!

Affordable. It’s located in a nice quiet neighborhood with a short distance to the grocery store and fast food restaurants, not very far from LEGOLAND. Unfortunately, our room was not the cleanest. Floors weren’t clean. There was food on the floor and sheets, towels were a bit stained. Beds are not the most comfortable either but it was doable for just the night. The pool was clean.

This Motel 6 was fine. A standard motel stay, nothing fancy but nothing beats the price.
