Place was good because the Area was ok and somewhat of a walking distance to the boardwalk. Entrance door or door frame had massive gap on top and bottom.

I have stayed at a lot of Motel 6 motels over the years and they’ve been simple, clean motels. This one had bloody finger prints on the inside of the door and the water smelled so weird I made it a point to get bottled water. The room next to us blast at the TV all night and the guy working the desk couldn’t be bothered to say a single word to me when I checked in. That brief glimpse was the only staff I saw in my two nights stay, and no, no one cleaned up our room after the first night. I hesitated to write a review because I don’t wanna hurt Small Business owners and I know that Motel 6 locations are franchises, but this was something that other travelers should know about. I was bummed I wasted my Expedia points on it.

This was a very clean room and they had just done improvements on the location and the room. Only thing that was bad was our room did not have shampoo or conditioner and per other guests asking at the front office they did not have any either. The one gentleman was told at 0715 am that he would have to wait til 0900 to get shampoo. I walked the couple blocks down the road and bought some at the gas station.

The location was great. The price was kinda high considering the rooms and amenities. The pictures definitely over sold the room. It seems as if they’re renovating slowly and in a shoty fashion. We found better rooms for cheaper after our first night.

First and foremost the cleaning staff (Ladies) were very nice and polite. Parking on the other hand was very limited and ppl were double parked. I know it's out of their control, but ppl were very inconsiderate being noisy at night, along with the issues of the homeless being on grounds.
