Great staff and pool

It was nicer then i thought it was going to be for the price. The pool was great. Staff was very friendly. But the bathroom had a bad smell the first night. I ran some water down the shower drain. It helped. Other then that it was nice. Closes to the beach and we could see the boardwalk from our door.

2/10 Poor

Dirty run down dump

Dingy dirty run down tiny room. Don’t know how this meets any codes to rent out . Not even a chair or table in the room. Half inch gap on the front door going outside . Ceiling tiles screwed and spackled on. Toilet was loose , can’t expect much in seaside but this was terrible.
Dirty
Door looked like it was kicked in and and rigged
Brian, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location but no TV and rough room.

The TV did not work, the fan in the bathroom sounded like an injured animal and my phone calls to the hotel were never answered. Messages were never returned conserning the TV. The sheets had someone else’s hair on it and some stains. The location is amazing and my young boys had a great time but I won’t use this hotel again mainly because the TV had 0 chance of ever working and that felt like a rip off.

8/10 Very good

Good decent place to stay
David, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

The outside looks very good. However the room we were given had fallen tiles in the bathroom. We were then given another room. It had decaying plumbing, gnats all over, we we were there for three nights and NEVER received any room service (cleaning or even fresh clean linen). Overall, it was poorly maintained and just plain worn out.

Disgusting Motel

The woman that checked us in was rude and snippy. We asked for the beach passes and I had to surrender my drivers license. Now I had no ID if I wanted to go to the beach / boardwalk. When we got to our room we really wanted to walk out and ask for a refund. The couch was stained so badly that we asked for a sheet to cover it. The bathroom caulking / grout was filthy. There were long black hairs ( not ours) stuck to the tile on the shower. Clesrly not wiped down from prior guest. Box spring was dirty and ripped. Toilet wouldnt flush and had to be fixed. We rented an efficiency and there were no pans or utensils had we wanted to actually use the stove. The bottom of the sink cabinet was cracked and broken. There was no closet. The floor was dirty and we had to wear flip flops. Housekeeping never came by and we had to keep asking for towels. The most disgusting motel either of us have ever stayed at. We had driven 2-1/2 hrs and there was no other local vacancies. I hope people take this review seriously and avoid booking this dive.
Filthy caulking  between shower base and wall.
Hair on shower tile from previous guest
