Carpeting needs to be updated severely. Room needs to be updated also and get rid of the step from the TV section to the bedroom section. My sister fell because she did not see the step. It was not well marked. A step there is not needed. Bathroom was clean and housekeeping did the best they could with what they had to work with.

Very convenient location. It’s a motel so you likely know what you’re getting into. Fine if you get a great price. Internet wasn’t working, but assume that’s not normal. Hair dryer kept stopping. A little bit of a smell in the room. AC took a while to catch up but eventually got there. You’re staying here for the location and low price.

The hotel was very nice and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Close to the boardwalk/beach. You can hear the music from the amusement park right behind the hotel. We were not bothered by it but some families may not like it. The only thing we missed was a coffe maker.

Great location but absolutely needs a full makeover! Rugs are sooooo old and stained! Toilet extremely low to floor and multiple gnats in bathroom! Door so old had to actually slam it shut to close it making a very loud noise.
