Don’t stay here!!!

Do not stay here! Room door was very insecure room was filthy, no TV remote, no floor towels, I don’t think the sheets were even washed. Then to top it off, the manager came and verbally aggressively insulted a special needs guest and his parent it was completely disgusting. Her actions as was the whole stay.

Do not stay here!!! The smell of mold and mildew was unbearable. Bathroom was disgusting. The toilet seat and trashcan was literally full of piss. Black mold was everywhere. I had to spent $100 at Walmart on sheets, pillows, disinfectants and air fresheners. We knew this was going to be a small cheap room and we just needed a place to sleep for the night but this place was not even fit for that. Health department needs to shut this place down!!

I stayed a week with my girlfriend and we throughly enjoyed the stay. the staff was friendly to give me any needed towels or other things, the nice lady at the front desk let me check in early, and they always made sure to say hello. the room was perfect just a nice comfortable bed to sleep on in the night. sheets were a little dirty, and couldn’t figure out the tv but i’m not one to complain about small things. i enjoyed very much with an affordable price and so close to everything it was very convenient. the ac also got very cold making the room very nice after a long day. i would recommend

False advertising at its finest. This room was awful. They didn’t clean the room at all while we were there. I had to ask for a broom to borrow and ask for extra towels that they said they only provided two and two wash rags. The room was not very clean when we arrived. The manager at the office when we arrived was rude and could barely speak any English. I will never stay here again.

Location is the ONLY reason this motel stays in business. Managed by Sea Breeze Inn next door. TV didnt work 1st day we were there. Then the TV had black blotches and jumped & had lines across the screen, due to poor internet connection & screen damage. Bottom drawer of the dresser is completely broken. The floor has green mold in the traffic areas. Walls were so thin, we were woken up by the neighbors' THICK pot & cigarette smoke. Shower area & curtain is moldy. Rust on anything metal. Screen on bathroom mirror was ripped out. Blood stain on the boxspring cover. The toilet was NOT ATTACHED to the floor. The shower wouldn't drain fast enough. So, we stood ankle deep in our own runoff.

Horribl

The room was nasty!! Tons of hair in the sink and shower. The toilet was broken and was rocking back and forth. The air conditioner was leaking huge puddles into the room. The fridge was old and rusted around the seals of the door and barely cooled anything. There were tons of ants everywhere in the room. The tv was broken on the bottom. And worst of all we found roaches on the floor and upon further investigation behind the tv.. worst place ever!!! We had to go buy towels and wash clothes because front desk would tell us to find housekeeping and they were never around!

It was a great location near the inlet and board walk and I never had an issue with parking back and forth between the convention center. The room wasn’t terrible. Hard wood floors and a clean bathroom. Some stains on towels and sheets and constant sand feeling under your feet. No curtains, bright outside the blinds and could hear people fighting all night.
