Stayed here for over 3 weeks in July/Aug this year, only intended to stay one night, but I 'renewed" a couple of times.The room was clean, with handy facilities like cold A/C, Cable TV, and I found it clean and tidy, good bathroom and toilet. I chose a non-smoking room. The lack of a refrigerator or basic cooking was a downer, but they have this cute way of compensating for lack of frig where you get these buckets of ice from big machines in reception...so any milk or beer you have bought you can kind of keep it cold if you have an Esky cold-box, or actually I used one of the small tidy-bins as a makeshift cooler. the morning ritual for ice and complimentary coffee was actually kind of fun, and was part of the little communal experience as you pass the other guests on the way.The coffee is surprisingly good, btw, unless it was just because I was jonesing for coffee anyway.
The pool is very nice looking, although try as I might, I didnt get a chance to use it.
Dania Beach/Hollywood beach itself down at the end of the road over the bridge, is so beautiful that you tend to do most of your bathing there.But its a fair walk, maybe 1.5km, I had a bicycle anyway.
Motel 6 is frequented by many "colorful characters" and '"wildlife" that I was at first apprehensive, but in the end, they made my stay fun and eventful, the sense that "something might happen".in any case, noone messed with me, and most were polite and friendly, even if some were high as kites.There is a security guard at night, and the Broward County deputies repond pretty quick to any problem.There was a car-jacking one day, which was exciting and perversely kind of cool, but it wasnt random, these guys knew each other, you get the picture.
Motel 6 also operates as a trucker stop, which is good in one way as many of the trucks are works of art and truckers may be interesting to talk to...but downsides are the occasional trucker who likes to leave his truck idling for an excessive amount of time, which I did get pissed with one guy over, and also if you get a refrigerator truck running all night if ur in rear carpark area as I was, in carpark you can hear it, although the rooms have a fair bit of sound deadening it seems.
The other downer is the presence of the Florida Midgey Widgey midge-mite things, which are tiny bugs which jump on you and bite , as Motel 6 Dania is backing onto a swamp.
Overall it was good deal price-wise and I liked my stay on East Dania Blvd at the '6, I would stay again if I visit,Id bring a proper coolbox, an electric jug for coffee, a can of bug repellant to repel those damn midgeys,
Fun and value for $$,
but it may not be for everyone if ur used to very classy conservative environs.
