The hot water was out the entire time. They made no effort to offer anything as compensation or to fix it with sense od urgency. Site management did not care.

Super quick to the boardwalk. We walked there and back at least 3 times per day, took less than 8 minutes with a toddler and stroller. Parking was easy for us, unlike some reviews but we also didn’t drive anywhere at all. We just walked. Room was pretty clean. Property was a bit run down outside, but didn’t affect stay. Pool has been filled in, so don’t let photos fool you. Also there’s a breakfast room but they don’t offer breakfast. Seems they are trying to close everything down and make as much profit as possible. Stay was good though, and we’d stay again for the price and walkability.

It is a convenient place to stay at due to its location. It was also very clean. The only issue is that it doesn’t have an elevator. We had someone in a wheelchair with (MS) that had to walk up the stairs and that was a challenge. Aside from that issue, I’d stay there again.

The room was very nice for the price. The bed was very comfortable. We were very happy that there was a microwave and refrigerator. I also liked the fact that there was flooring and not carpet. The parking was a little challenging.

The good: it was clean and close to everything we needed. The not great but probably would not bother most people: the toilet seat was loose. for some reason this is one of the things that just scream to me keep up on basic maintenance. I hand tightened it my self because it bothered me. 10 sec fix. Also I hate 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner. so... The bad: I stayed 2 nights and someone smashed out the passenger side window of a vehicle the first night. This is not the motel's fault but still gives a negative impression. Also the check out process was easy but left me feeling like did I do it right. It is literately just drop your key card in the box. It was fairly inexpensive. It was nice to find a place that was just a room and charged for being just a room. I hate places that charge 40-50 dollars more but they give you a "free" breakfast. This gives me the freedom to eat what I want and usually a lot less expensive.
