Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Less than satisfactory
This motel was completely unsatifactory. The bathroon door was broken, there is no closet, no ice machine, no coffee maker, no chair. The motel needs a major remodel. We cancelled and stayed in Beach Haven in a much nicer motel of similar price.
