Cheap. This place is good to save a buck and have access to the beach and boardwalk. You get what you pay for though. Room was gross, building is falling apart. Would I stay again?...yes. Why? Cheap. Go in knowing it's just a place to sleep and you'll be fine. expect nothing else.

Do not stay here.

Pictures on website does not even remotely represent this motel. Service was fine. Motel is extremely rundown and filthy. The only plus that is one block from boardwalk.

Very close to beach and boardwalk. Sanitary and smelled okay (had a tile floor, thus, no absorbed smells of a carpet). AC excellent. Hot water good. TV was slow responding and confusing. WiFi very good. I would definitely stay again.

The staff was very nice and accomidating. The room itself had a broken doorknob, broken shower head and rusty heater. Needed paint. The parking spaces were very tiny, leaving no room to get in and out of your vehicle. Exterior of building can use a lot of work. It was clean.

Bianca

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was only a couple blocks from the boardwalk which was nice but the rooms weren’t very clean, everything in the room was very old, the mini fridge was full of scratches and had stickers all over it. The toilet had stains on it from what looked like bleach and the shower had no liner on the tub so the floor would get all wet. The light was dim so it looked gloomy. There was open trash bags on the floor in the hallway so that wasn’t the best but the pool was nice and clean. It was a one night thing for me I don’t think I would return.

I didn’t even stay there. Took a look at 2 different rooms and they were so stinking that I didn’t even check in. Call Expedia to cancel and when Expedia call them they were nasty. That was the only motel with available rooms. I wonder why.

I have many pictures of the rooms. They were dirty, had bare electrical wires on the heaters, air conditioner filters were nasty (we cleaned them), managers/owners were rude, no ice machine on-site. I could go on but there isn't enough time. I have pictures of the actual rooms, they look nothing like the pictures on the website!!!!
