Great spot for a reasonable price. You can easily walk to the beach or downtown. The pool and hot tubs were also great. For a small motel the pool area had an almost resort like feel. Our two kids loved it. We will be be back.

Their fridge leaked water everywhere and my foods were ruined. The hotel did say that they would pay me for the cost of the foods. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The walls were thin and I could hear music and stomps pass midnight from the room above mine.

The location is the big draw. A short walk to the boardwalk and the wharf. The motel is old and not pretty, but was clean. The bed is extremely firm making sleep pretty fleeting for us in our 50’s. Staff was pleasant. I would Suggest having bottles of water and sundries for sale in the lobby. Again, the location is great and we enjoyed the beach.
