New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

Having had the “privilege” of staying at both - I can assure you that Pop Century is not even close to a motel 6.

I agree!!!!!

For my runDisney in Cali trip, I chose to stay at the Motel6 because so many compare our Values to that brand. So I figured the rooms would be nice and grounds pleasant. The Motel6 was terrible.

The design elements of both may not exactly replicate, but sure do rhyme. In my professional opinion.

Unless you stayed at a particularly nice motel 6 (which I’m sure they do exist) I can’t understand how they are the least bit comparable by any measurable.

And back to the discussion of what is expected at a “resort” like the pop century and a basic roadside motel.

Gated entry. Large, landscaped property with water features. On site Dining options. On site shopping. Jogging path. Large themed swimming pools.

There are particularly nice Motel 6s and Super 8s, they're just uncommon. Certainly some of the hotels in their advertising material are nicer than average (but mostly actually exist). Them and Best Western can often get quite nice in areas with more competition, particularly in the midwest and flyover states in general.

More appropriately, I've stayed in hotels often considered slightly higher quality than that (Holiday Inn for example, or any of the half-dozen lower level flags from Marriott), very basic accommodations relatively speaking, that have on-site shopping and dining, gates, and similar recreation opportunities (minus the size of course). All of them half (or third when Pop gets up into the $300/night range), the price.

And I’ve spent the same rates that pop charges for extremely basic unthemed motels on harbor Blvd.

Not exactly sure what your point is?

Comparing pop century to any basic motel is wild to me.

Nothing beats being able to pull you car right up to within a few feet of your hotel room door.
