We had an amazing time! Check in was super easy and a bonus was that parking was included. Staff was so welcoming. The room was clean, quiet and safe area. Location was amazing. Right across the street from the water park, amusement park and beach/boardwalk! Right next door they own a small restaurant with great food, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. We will definitely return! Thank you for the hospitality ❤️🤩

They go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels at home, creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere that is truly special. The motel itself is clean, well-maintained, and ideally located, offering beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. The rooms are cozy and equipped with all the amenities one could need for a relaxing stay. Yasser and Mostafa’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the motel, making it a delightful place to unwind. A standout feature of Buoy16 Motel is the fantastic restaurant located just below it. The food and drinks here are simply superb. The menu boasts a variety of delicious options, all made with fresh ingredients and crafted with care. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just a quick bite, the restaurant offers something for everyone. The drinks are equally impressive, with a great selection of beverages to complement any meal.

Great staff, easy check in/check out, very clean and secure. They park your car in their lot. Best place for location across from boardwalk and beach if you are just needing somewhere to shower and sleep. There’s even a little food shack downstairs on the corner with great food.
