If you have a stroller or are handicap do NOT stay here. No elevator. Only tons of stairs or a steep walk way. And to get in the room has a huge step. I normally stay in the dream inn and which was the same price and I shouldn’t have changed the stay. The staff was very friendly and let us borrow some stuff to go to the beach since there wasn’t a pool.

Unfortunately the hotel is accessible to pedestrians. A homeless person was screaming at the top of his lungs and banging on the windows and doors to let him inside. It was terrifying. I had to call the local authorities. I let the hotel staff know and nothing was done. Only an apology. Not even a discount or refund. Very unfortunate. I had my baby with me and it was a scary experience. I will not stay here again.

Very pet friendly. Courteous service. Beautiful location. Walking distance to food and the boardwalk. Wonderful ocean view. Super quiet. The only minor issue we had was working the tv and the internet. Very few channels but they offered Netflix login which unfortunately didn’t work well with the weak internet signal.

40th birthday Trip

My friends and I came for our friends 40th birthday and we had an absolute blast. The location was amazing and we would definitely stay here again. I was just a little disappointed with one thing I asked them if they did things for special occasions and they said they did so they put it in their notes to put flowers in a bottle of champagne in my friends room for her birthday and they never did, but other than that I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Great location

We had a great stay at the Casablanca inn! I totally recommend. It was great being walking distance to boardwalk, wharf and shopping on Pacific Ave. Our favorite part was hanging out on patio and looking at ocean and people watching. Only issues were having plumbing issues, tenant nextdoor had same problems. Only other issue for myself was that they allow dogs, so I noticed clumps of dog hair on our patio and walkways.

Very disappointed

to start we had to pay 35 to park. Then found out we had 50 steps up and down to room and ground, reserved a room with ocean view was not as shown. It was so small we could not stand side by side- No where to put luggage except on floor next to bed-Then we had to move it to get around the bed- No hot water in sink- Very little in shower. no reception in evening. Overall for what we paid I'v had better rooms at Motel 6.
