Motel 6 Bay Saint Louis, MS
1003 Highway 90, Bay St. Louis, MS 39520
Motel 6 Bay St. Louis sits right off Highway 90, a short drive from the beach and from Hollywood Casino and Silver Slipper Casino across the bay. It's a no-frills budget stop — free parking outside your door, coin laundry if you're mid-road-trip, and a microwave for reheating whatever you brought back from the buffet. Bring the dog; kids stay free. Not fancy, but it covers a night on the coast without draining the gas-money budget.
Getting There
Motel 6 sits right on Highway 90, the main strip running along Bay St. Louis's waterfront, so nothing in town is really out of reach. The beach is about five minutes away by car. Old Town Bay St. Louis, with its antique shops and waterfront restaurants, is roughly eight minutes down the road. Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast is closer still, about a mile and a half east on Highway 90, and Silver Slipper Casino is a few miles further along the coast in Diamondhead. A Waffle House sits directly across the street and a Wendy's is next door, handy if you're rolling in late and hungry.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms are basic; this stretch was a Knights Inn before Motel 6 took it over, and it still reads like exactly what it is: a roadside stop. But guest after guest circles back to the same word: clean. Floors are vinyl instead of carpet, which travelers hauling in beach sand or a dog tend to appreciate. Each room has a microwave, free WiFi is included throughout, and free parking sits right outside your door. There's a picnic area out back, a coin laundry on site for anyone mid-road-trip, and pet-friendly rooms if you've got a pet along. Kids stay free, and 24-hour security keeps an eye on things along a busy stretch of Highway 90. Walls run thin in places, so ask for a room away from a neighbor's TV if you're a light sleeper.
What's Nearby
You won't go hungry on this stretch of Highway 90. Waffle House sits directly across the street and Wendy's is next door for a fast bite, while Acocado's Mexican Restaurant and La Chula are both about a six-minute drive for something sit-down. Chopstick Chinese Restaurant and Yamato Steakhouse are a little further, roughly 13 minutes. Galactic Golf, a mini-golf course, is five minutes away if you've got kids to burn off energy. The real draw is Old Town Bay St. Louis, about eight minutes down the road, with its antique shops, galleries, and waterfront bars. The beach itself is a five-minute drive, and Buccaneer State Park is close enough for an afternoon of hiking or fishing.
Our Take
Reviewers are split on this one, and that tracks: it's a budget motel, not a boutique stay. The recurring praise is location and price: five minutes to the beach, walking distance to fast food, and rates well under what you'd pay at the casino resorts up the coast. The recurring complaint is noise, both from Highway 90 traffic and from rooms next door. Book it for a clean-enough, cheap base for beach days and casino hopping. Skip it if you need a quiet night's sleep.
