I had a great stay in a walk up and was able to extend my checkout. On a one way street. Lots of stores within easy walking distance. Breakfast: bagel, schmear, hb egg, coffee all nice. Couldn’t get juice machine to work. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee in room. Room and bathroom clean and a good size. Very relaxing on a budget.

There was a HUGE pike of garbage about 5 feet from my door. It smelled really gross, like mold inside. There was flies and a wasp in the room. There was a few minor holes in the walls and cracks throughout. We kept our shoes on the entire time and didn't sleep under the blankets. I'd never stay there again.
This was there, by my door when I arrived. It was 4pm, so it should have been picked up by then.

Poor show

The Pics on the site were lucrative but overall appearance is poor. though the rooms are mentioned smoke free, cigarette buds can be seen every where and filthy trash cans. Lamps had nonworking bulbs, TVs of the last century, The site mentioned that they have a pool, literary grass was growing in it and was closed. Breakfast place was very unhygenic, the attendant put a large yogurt can with a spoon, pre-opened leaking cream cheese packets....and bread seemed two days olds, no one to clean the tables...one man running the show.....overall poor show.

I was visiting the shore for a few days and selected this place due to proximity and price. The check in was very quick. The room itself was clean and didn’t smell like cigarettes or products trying to cover up smells. The bathroom was fine and water pressure was good with hot water available within 20 seconds. Parking was great and well lit. The downsides are it’s dated so the bed lamps had no port charging as I forgot mine at home in DC. I used the back of the tv to charge but def inconvenient but also my fault for assuming. The sheets were clean, pillowcases clean but worn out, there were cigarette burns in the blankets which I left for the cleaning staff to see. Overall it was a great value for the end of the summer and I’ve been to worse.
