It's an older motel, but was extremely clean and the staff was great. We didn't even ask that our towels be replaced but they were able to straighten up our room and replace linens while we were out. Really great service

Really good value! I stayed for the weekend with my husband and it was well matched for our needs. Could use some updates (bedding, outlets, lighting), but it was very clean, a short walk to the boardwalk/beach, and checkin and checkout was a breeze.

Our stay here was pretty nice. It's steps from the beach and a reasonable walk to lots of shops and restaurants. The beds were a little low and the air conditioner didn't keep the room as cool as we would've liked but it was serviceable. The lights outside were quite bright, so the room didn't get particularly dark at night. The pool was a nice amenity as well, very well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed something. We'd stay here again!

This hotel is so close to the boardwalk! We got there around 6pm and had to walk next door to check in which was a little ghetto especially since we had all of our bags. It was what I expected for the price point

Liked: Staff & service
Changed hands and staff in front office was inefficient, and maid service was effected by that. We have stayed there for years, and loved it, but because of the changes, will consider other options.

Room was basic but clean. We had a small private deck that looked to the ocean which was great. The AC unit was not the best, had to play with it to get it cooling, but it was tolerable. Can’t beat the price especially with a pool - it looked clean and refreshing. Would stay here again for a weekend getaway for the price.

KRISTEN

Wasn’t too bad for the price, but the room smelled like a musty basement. Definitely weds updated carpeting or flooring, and could use a bigger tv. Beds were ok, but pillows were small. A little inconvenient we had to walk next door to check in sand out, otherwise not too bad. Very close to the beach, easy parking, fairly quiet.

Bathroom was extremely clean. But the room had a musty almost moldy smell and the carpet felt moist, so I refused to walk around without at least flip flops or socks on my feet which was annoying.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The parking and check in process was very easy and convenient. As soon as we entered our room there was a strong scent of mold and the air was stall. The location was close and convenient but would not stay here again based on the cleanliness.
