"The staff is amazing! But if you have a few extra dollars, consider staying somewhere else, like Seaside. This Motel 6 has no in-room coffee pot, fridge, or microwave, or daily housekeeping. We received two tiny soaps, a cracked ice bucket, dingy towels and bed linen, broken molding, urine stains ..."

"The property is in a nice location and close to the boardwalk. The room was decent but definitely not “resort” quality. Definitely do not eat the food here.
