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.

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.

Underrated beachside motel
After reading several scathing reviews of this place, I decided to try staying there for myself and I was pleasantly surprised. Clearly the poor reviews are coming from people who are accustomed to staying at much fancier, more expensive hotels. But for the value, it’s hard to beat its prime location right by the beach and boardwalk. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all of my questions and even gave me some great local restaurant suggestions. The room was clean and smelled clean. The shower had hot water, and yes the bathroom may be small but it wasn’t an issue for me. The room included a microwave and fridge and a TV. There is a typical window A/C and heater as well. I would absolutely stay here again.

The boardwalk is a half a block away and right in the heart of it with all the rides just a few steps away.

The place has a nice vibe. Like all motels on or around the boardwalk, the place is a bit out dated and the rooms are small - but if this is just a place to lay your hat while you are out enjoying the beach, then this is not a bad deal. I would stay here again with my family.

Excellent location, and we had a good view from the balcony outside our room. Motel is a bit outdated and run down, but rooms are clean. It is what I expected for the price, and area.

If you want a place close to beach and boardwalk…this is a find. It’s old, run down but it works. We were 4…2 adults,2 kids……2 nights was plenty.

Nice motel for the area. Staff is friendly and room was clean. Across the street from the boardwalk, so it’s a quick walk to the beach.
