I’ve been traveling since I was a kid, so I know what to expect when it comes to motels- honestly this one was really great! Super clean, beds were made neatly and very clean, room was fresh and smelled nice, the bathroom was clean and towels for showering were provided. There was both a microwave and fridge in our room. The host was very kind and easy to communicate with. The area itself is all walkable, you can get to the boardwalk easily. The parking was easy and accessible. Checkout was prompt and easy. Thanks again!

Honestly I was hesitant about staying here because some of the reviews but it wasn’t bad. The only complaint I have is there was a lot of hair in the sink and in the bath tub that shouldn’t have been there if it was cleaned right. It was a close walk to the boardwalk and that’s what I wanted. I would stay here again.

Great area, walkable to anything and with free parking is an automatic plus! Room was a little small, facilities in the room didnt work great but got the job done, would stay here again based on convenience of the location, but definitely a little pricey for what youre getting out of the stay, overall 3.5/5, worth the trip for a last minute getaway

I appreciated the reasonable price being within walking distance to the boardwalk and eateries. I liled the big wall window from room 121, very cool! The blanket had hole burnt into it, possible someone smoking which isnt allowed but I figure the laundry staff should throw that blanket away.

For the rate, the condition of this motel was terrible, this place would have be expensive at 60 bucks a night let alone 400 plus, if there would have vacancies elsewhere after i arived and seen the condition i would have left.

Used condom wrapper under the bed, toilet seat was dirty/cracked, and could have been a little more updated. Area was very quiet, though! Parking was tight, not ideal for larger vehicles.
