READ THIS - 7/5/25 our stay was probably one of the worst. we booked a room from 7-1 until 7-5. the breakfast that they advertise? nonexistent. we kept going over to the microtel next door where the breakfast was AMAZING (props to them). the first day when we went for breakfast at the shore house, the office wasn’t open at the time they said they would be. room service/housekeeping? NONEXISTENT. we had to keep going to the lobby to ask for clean towels and wash rags to be met with dirty looks by the staff members. not a single day did we come back to the bed being made or anything stocked. our trash was not taken out once, and the sheets were disgusting looking/ bleach stained. the pool was nice as well as the tiny hot tub, but please be aware that it is shared with the microtel so there is almost always people in it. about a 6 minute drive to the beach, wawa within walking distance and a shopping plaza only a few minutes away. THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE HOUSEKEEPING DIDNT EXIST 75 DOLLAR SECURITY DEPOSIT THAT WASNT ADVERTISED AT THE TIME OF BOOKING NO MINI FRIDGE/ MICROWAVE NONEXISTENT BREAKFAST (go over to microtel, trust me) i wouldn’t stay here again. in a pinch and for a lower budget it was a place to stay, but neverrrr again.

For the price it's exactly what I needed. Definitely would stay here again. I'm not a needy traveler so the bare basics didn't bother me. But people should know in advance, you can hear a cough through the walls and everything that is taking place out in the parking lot. Thankfully all the other guests staying here understood the situation and we all had a good rest without incident.

CONS- our key card stopped working about two times. The first time I went at a gentleman was at the front desk and he was extremely rude to not only me, but the customers that were in line before me. He looked like he was extremely bothered, and I felt very uncomfortable to even ask him for any help. The second time our key card stopped working. It was after hours so we had to go to the hotel next-door for the engineer to let us in with a master key card. Floor was disgusting. It looks like they don’t warm off. You cannot walk around without shoes on. There was dust everywhere and in the corners there was dirt. PROS- that same gentleman that was extremely rude was very welcoming when we checked in the night before. He was extremely nice so I’m not sure what happened the next day with him. The pool was very clean. They share it with the hotel next-door. Check out is 11 AM which is great because it gave us time to enjoy the morning. They have a little selection of breakfast, which was pretty decent. Overall, the hotel is no bells and whistles, but it was a place to rest our head while we were on vacation.

We were rushed checking in, were told the wrong place were our room was. The man shut the door behind us and out a note on the door they were closed. We got in the room at first look the room was nice recently up dates and then we went in the bathroom. The bathroom was from 1950 and all along the side of the bathroom were cigarette burns. There was no toilet paper so at 11:30 pm we had to go to purchase toilet paper, the tissue box was also empty. Tried to go to the front desk at 7:30 next morning as we were leaving to go out the next morning and they were still closed. Stayed 3 nights and they never came in to clean the room. Went to front desk again door was open but no one was at the desk waited 15 minutes as many people were in there waiting to speak with someone and no one came to the desk. The smell of weed coming into our room every night was terrible. I
