Pool was clean but small. The view is the back of another hotel. Check in is at another hotel. Room is dated but decent. Great location. Parking is tight.

It was close to the beach. The bed was comfortable, and the room looked clean. The odor in the room was really bad. It smelled like years of urine on the floor.

You get what you pay for. It was a cheap rate and all we were doing was just sleeping there so it was fine. Needs major repairs to rooms. When checking in and out had to wait a long time for someone to come to the office. It is close to the beach and boardwalk.

Not the worst hotel. Comfy beds. Hot showers and no bedbugs. Stumbling distance from the bars. All good in my book!

Ended up not making it because of car trouble. But the app had us for a 2:00 check-in and the manager was very helpful having a later check in before the car trouble even began.

This motel has made me very nervous to book online motels. The room was clean, but the blinds were broken and people walking by could see in your room. You had to look very close to see the room was actually clean as it absolutely needs a remodel. There was only a sheet on top of the bed, nothing but the gross bedspread to cover yourself while sleeping. I did ask the office for a sheet and they provided, so I could use that while sleeping. To be fair this is a place frequented by young kids going to party so any upgrades may not have a good RTO. Personally, not for me and my family but the location is SO good.

Fantastic for the price

For the price, this is a great hotel. There are no frills, so don't expect anything amazing but again for the price this is a great hotel. Beds are comfortable, you get a small fridge and a microwave and plenty of room. On top of that, you are walking distance to great restaurants and the boardwalk which also has some things open (it was winter when I stayed and VERY windy and cold). Anyone who does not give this hotel a good rating is expecting the Taj Mahal for dollar store rates. I will be going back in a few weeks for mandatory vacation my job has me taking.
