Not a great choice

Hotel was barely good enough to have a place to lay my head. Hard to sleep due to dirty sheets, loud noises and people obnoxiously closing doors. The mini fridge didn’t cool anything. A/c worked well but was loud. Property needs maintenance and furnishings have seen better days. This was our cheapest option, you get what you pay for.

This is an old property, but it is well maintained. When we entered the room shortly after 4:00 p.m. the floor was still wet, and the room smelled heavily of bleach. It did not dissipate. The beds, which is how I often judge a room, were good, but there was a light directly outside the single window that stayed on all night, lighting the room enough that it was difficult to sleep. Big plus, though, it's only a block off the Boardwalk and the beach. If you're looking for affordable accommodations close to the beach, check out White Marlin.

The floors are filthy, walls, around door knob dirty. Kitchen had no plates etc. Was not furnished at all in kitchen. Smelled of mold. We tried putting dryer sheets everywhere for smell. I found dead bedbugs on the floor and we had to leave. A few men kept walking past our window all night so we felt unsafe there. Worst experience ever. We had to pay to book another hotel and left. I'm glad we did but so much money wasted. I spoke to front desk person and they said nothing just shook her head. Worst Birthday week ever.

I got a 2nd floor 9x9 room. Parking was well lit but tight. The carpeted outdoor walkway to my room was moldy/stained/sticky. My exterior door had enough airspace under it to deliver a boxed pizza without opening the door, but later I found it doubled as a megaphone and a nightlight. The cheap blinds did nothing to help block streetlights. The floor inside had screws trying to pop up through thin laminate. The walls claimed to be from the 1970’s. I was given 3 handtowels and 3 washcloths for 4 nights. I looked around for real bathtowels, but that’s all I got. These tiny thin towels were apparently multipurpose towels which were to double as a handtowel/bathmat. I don’t expect a maid to come in to make my bed daily, but on the 2nd day someone entered just long enough to install a fresh roll of toilet paper but it was clear that they didn’t do anything else at all, such as bring some REAL towels. I asked for bathtowels at the desk, and they gave me 3 more handtowels. The bathroom was clean was so small that you had to leave the room to open/close the door. The sink didn’t drain. The stopper was broken. You can’t adjust it, but can only pry it up with your fingernails an 8th inch and jiggle it for the water to slowly escape. A broken piece from the sink rested under my dresser for my entire visit. No one sweeps. AC was mighty but sounded like an airplane taking off. The TV channels were limited to 12. The mini fridge was the nicest part of the room due to a large freezer.

Arrive to check in to find a note on the door that says to go to another property to check it. Walk down to the other property to Check and the person in front of us has an issue but states that they need to discuss it in private so that they do not upset any other guest. Not a good feeling check in walk back to the property go to the room. Ac doesn’t work at all. I have to walk back to the other property because there’s no phone in the room to call for them not to believe me and for them to walk over to the property to look for me to have to walk back to the second property to get different room, keys and switch rooms. No housekeeping, never even got a clean towel the whole timeframe that we stayed there had to go back there and ask floors were never swept. Nothing trash was never taken out. It was horrible

The service was good. Due to traffic I got there extra late and they were able to accommodate that for me. However, the room we got the floor felt like it was ready to give out at any point with even just walking on it! I ended up making that spot a no step spot for my son and told him to crawl over the bed instead of walking on that spot or I’d walk over it to the other side and pick him up over it. The location was great and that’s why I picked it but the flooring def should be re-done soon.
