5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Bike/walking path is very nice. We brought along our bikes. Don't forget a lock because you'll surely park and sightsee.

8/10 Very Good! (1,008 reviews)
Pros: good price, nice staff, separate bedroom, very close to the boardwalk and beach, free parking/availability, fridge, microwave, allow pets, good plumbing/hot water.
Cons: paper thin walls, uncomfortable beds (can feel the springs), bad WiFi, cheap towels & bedding.
It’s definitely a 2-3 star motel but if you’re traveling on a small budget, you’ll appreciate it.
