Great economy stay

The team here makes the property a great stay. There is a nice check in office, staff is on property at all times, and the rooms small but clean. The carpet and the curtains need to go. Location is also close to the boardwalk.

Not on beachfront

The stay was overall decent this motel is not right on the beachfront like it says, and very pricey for what it is.
Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The price itself is unbeatable. Super close to the beach and the pool is nice. Very close to the waterpark. 7-8 min walk to the northern end of the boardwalk. The room itself is pretty good at this price range. The AC is powerful in such hot weather.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Older hotel, great location, no frills but convenient and clean rooms. Nothing special to mention. Budget friendly considering other options. Heated pool was a plus, no breakfast offered but plenty of nearby options within walking distance. I'd stay again for the value and location!
Joseph, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick Trip

Check-in was quick. Better know how to drive cause the parking lot is tight. Bed itself is comfy but the pillows are flat af. *If you’re traveling with young kids, be mindful that there is no deadbolt on the door. The kids can easily just flap the door handle and escape!* Quick and easy trip to the beach. Not on coastal highway so not too much traffic noise at night.

Don’t believe what you read!

The reviews must be fake because the motel was nothing like described! I’m pretty sure my beds had bedbugs because I have bites all over my body.
