Liked the location to beach and boardwalk. AC's need to be upgraded. The unit was putting humidity into the room rather than discharging to the outside, which led to a very sticky and wet interior room.

Staff very pleasant and accommodating. The room was small but clean and updated. This is a very basic motel with a very tiny pool (4 lounge chairs). It is not beach side but is just a short walk. The price was definitely expensive but I do understand that it was a weekend in July so all hotels close to the beach are extremely overpriced. I paid over 700 for 2 nights and felt a little short changed. The included breakfast was a non event, a tiny room filled with families in line for a bagel. Went to a nearby Dunkin. Staff were all very pleasant though, thus the 3.5 out of 5 rating.

Short Stay

Room small, hotel dated, but rooms were updated, comfortable. This is on opposite side of the street from the ocean, and this is why the price is a bit lower. Slow elevator, very small pool, but okay for a short stay. The office is a separate small building in the front lot so this adds a sense of security, in my opinion.

Location and everything great, however, this is not a hotel, more like a motel and they had cockroaches walking around outside of the room, terrible and disgusting. Room standards were not as expected, needs more cleanliness overall and proper beds, sheets and accommodation overall. I don't recommend.

We liked that the room was clean. It is an older property with limited amenities. A tiny swimming pool and an extremely loud air conditioner. Even though the check in was slow the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was adequate and the property is in a good location.
