Room was clean had microwave and fridge as advertised. Also a TV. The drywall was a little rough. Very noisy traffic, but no fault of the owners. Thankfully it quieted down at night. Good place for a short stay.

While the location is great and the price is right, we chose this hotel because of the reviews that showed high ratings by couples. There was nothing about the property or our room that were romantic or couples related. The room didn't even have a blow dryer so we had to go to the office with wet hair to ask for one. It's just super basic and not super clean. If you don't plan on spending much time in the room and don't like to hang out at the property, it's probably fine.

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!

The staff was amazingly kind and welcoming. I wouldn’t stay here again though, it was booked in a pinch on a last minute trip. Outside of the motel or staff control, it’s just an extremely loud place to stay. You can hear everyone around you, people were constantly yelling and then smoking on the balcony next to the large no smoking sign. The beds are so uncomfortable, my back feels like I was ran over by a car and then they reversed over my body just to run me over again. In the motels control, the toilets have a sanitized paper ring closing the lid to appear cleaned. The toilet seat in our room had poop all over it. I tried to gaslight myself but there’s not disguising a strangers skid marks. Anyway, not my favorite place. Again, the staff was incredibly kind and I didn’t want to complain to them but I did let them know because, gross, they did apologize and that was the extent of that. I do think I’ll never book here again lol hope this helps in your choice!

Great location to the Boardwalk

The best location if going to the Boardwalk. The hotel is older, so the room is small. The room seemed clean except for the floor; wear slippers or flip flops. There is no maid service. The shower took a very long time to get hot water. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

A quiet surprise. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside was renovated and lovely. No closet. But fridge and microwave. Barn door was a cute add on. The clerk said “normally we charge a $300 deposit, but I’ll only charge you $50”. It was safe and clean and surprisingly two blocks from the boardwalk and pier.
