Disliked: Amenities
Nothing special about this place. Not that close to the board walk. There was dirty tissue on the bathroom floor when we got there. Looked kinda better than a motel 6 but overall not that great. Does have a pool even though it says it doesn’t which was good. Parking at night time sucks. Front office guy said people sneak their additional cars in and street parking looks sketchy. Homeless around the area so beware. Lack of restaurants or coffee shops near by. So yea nothing special to report.

The property itself wasn't horrible but they charged a $350 service fee. So in total a two-night stay was almost $600. Absolutely not worth it. Property itself is the same quality of a motel. 6. Except for they have three putting holes And a pool. Absolutely, do not recommend.

Arrived late at night to check in to see there is no front desks staff and you have to check in with a virtual assistant that isn’t on the property. Our first issues was our vehicle was too tall to enter the parking garage luckily there was an extra entrance that we could make it in and soon found out there were no spaces to park. With the park of town the motel is in, parking on the street was not an option. I reached back out to the virtual assistant and was told they have rules about vehicles and our vehicle just didn’t meet requirements for their parking lot.. and it was just too bad we already paid and they couldn’t issue any refunds . So we parked in the handicapped space for the rest of the evening. It was a VERY LOUD/ Eventful night filled with cops and people throwing up right near our door. Wouldn’t stay here if it was even free. Not a place to bring a family.

Quick and easy check in and out. The room looked very clean with new paint and hardwood floors. The bedding smelled fresh and clean. The indoor hot tub and pool area was a great bonus. I will definitely stay there again
