I recently stayed at Motel 6 Venice and had a great experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, which made the stay relaxing. I really appreciated that the property is pet-friendly, so I could bring my dog along without any hassle. The pool was well-maintained and perfect for cooling off after a day out. It also felt very family-friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere and convenient amenities. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for affordability, cleanliness, and comfort in Venice.

Everything from Kenny and Alicia at the front desk to the clean room with clean bedding was excellent. And the price of the room along with clean shower and a laundry was better than I expected. Jeffrey Petrillo

Nice clean quiet rooms. Close to all shopping. 10 minutes car ride gets you everywhere. Pool was clean and very soothing as was the 24 hour front desk. Ice machines and laundry room for added conveniences. Price is perfect for the stay.

I know Motel 6 has gotten a bad reputation over the years but this one was amazing! Property is clean-both inside AND out! Water pressure for shower was amazing! Check in and check out was fast and easy, and staff was very helpful for both. Area was quiet at night bed was comfortable. FREE PARKING!! Also, had plenty of outlets for two people to charge phones/other electric devices right at head level attached to the headboard. McDonald's right next door too! For sure exceeded expectations.

We were only staying for 1 night but we were given a bottom floor room and the people above us were noisy until 3 AM and then started again at 5AM. it sounded like they were moving furniture all night. It was convenient for where we needed to be the next day. the room and bathroom were clean but did have a musty smell

As soon as I opened the door to the room I saw live cockroaches and smelled mold. The parking lot looked like a homeless camp. The floor looks like it's never been cleaned. Just an overall dirty room.

The room was clean, the location convenient & the staff courteous and friendly. The only Issue was the sound of Highway traffic, I was staying In the very front of the building & It could get loud, Next time I'll know to request a room at the far, rear end of the motel & I'm sure It will be considerably less noisy.

This motel 6 is located close to Venice Beach and nokomis which is great, the staff are very helpful. The rooms was clean and the pool is nice. But the rooms are too small so is the shower. the rooms was smelling moldy when we got the fist day,the property looks a bit rundown, it looks like there are people that actually live there.

One of the few Motel 6 that has been remodeled nicely and not "jimmy rigged" or substandard remodeling. Appeared clean floors, shower, etc. TV worked for a change. Unfortunately, no continental breakfast. Good part of town, close to beach, restaurants nearby. Only thing I did not like is they wait until after 11 a.m. to reimburse the $50 security deposit.

The check in was seamless. The room was very clean, as were the grounds. The hotel was well lit. The beds were comfortable. The coffee in the lobby was really good. The pool looked really nice, although we didn't have time to use it. You can't beat the price, and it's a very convenient location. We came to Florida due to a very unexpected family loss.
