Estimated price for 1 night/2 adults
Very happy with Motel 6
They were very kind and willing to help. Even forgot my pillows and they are sending them back to me
I really enjoyed my mini vacation here. Clean room. Friendly people. Beautiful view. Min to a beach. Will most definitely stay here again!
It was walking distance to the wharf and boardwalk
Location, right by the beach. Good views. Area was very nice. Friendly staff
Really good hotel really clean. Staff are really nice
Location was close to the boardwalk. It was a clean and calm place.
This place is great for the price. The room was very clean, the staff was great, and I was very pleased with my stay at the Ocean Lodge.
A lot of the rooms are Not like your ordinary hotel rooms. Thumbs up
We really enjoyed the location of this place. Equal distance to both the beach and downtown. Quiet at night. And pet friendly! It smelled nice when we walked into the room. And the pool was open!!! My only complaint would be the deposit of $200 that is held on your card for up to 10 days after check ...
Great place to stay for the evening for a low price and being close to the beach. The other guests of this motel were a little obscure. People were yelling and out in the parking lot hanging out until late. I suggest another place for a family or single woman staying alone.
Awesome

With a wide variety of sizes, costs, and amenities, you’re sure to find a motel to fit your vacation needs.
