We picked this Motel 6 because it was the closest to Seal Beach (with the scary exception of the Long Beach Motel6).We had never stayed there before and the exterior was clean & nice.It was a good feeling because we booked 3 nights there (also saved a few $ by going online :)
The check-in staff were friendly and no problems with our reservation,price,etc., and they let us check in early.
We were really surprised when we entered the room,it was clean and the towels were wrapped like at a 4-5 star hotel,and the toilet paper had the "v" fold.My wife really liked that it had a bathtub for our girls and we even used it a couple times(very nice after a day at the beach).It didn't have central air conditioning,which we were grateful to have the older individual a/c as they seem to work better(especially wth this very humid summer we are having).
Now for the down side...We had a room by the street,which was fine since we like easy access to our car(for surfboards & beach gear etc).Usually Motel6 has parking right in front of your room,but this one has it across from it.So,many trips back and forth.
And then...around 2am we heard a strange noise like ice cracking or glass slowly breaking.My husband checked outside but didn't notice anything.In the morning he realized someone had shot out ours and 6 other room's windows with a BB gun!They didn't penetrate both layers of glass thankfully,but kind of scary!Hubby went to the front desk and told them about it.They cleaned another room quickly for us,and it was by the pool in the inside courtyard.We were impressed that they acted so quickly without us even asking for another room(although we would have gotten to it!)
It was nice having a room with a view of the pool.The pool had a slight tinge of green,but we were troopers and went in it anyway.
Even after all that,we would stay here again.It really wasn't the motel's fault for the windows being shot(although they could work on the pool's water quality).
