It's a solid, no frills motel but room was very clean and good sized. We stayed on the second floor corner right next to the street, which is basically HWY 1 and although it was loud outside, the walls are very well insulated and was pretty quiet inside. Their free breakfast is great with your typical bagels, cereal, waffles, yogurt, coffee, etc - but they also offered Jimmy Dean sausage croissants and biscuits & gravy which was a nice bonus so I'd say their breakfast is better than most motels in this price range. Hot Tub was average so nothing exceptional there, Its a couple miles from the Boardwalk so don't expect to walk from here but its only like an 8-10 minute drive with traffic. There's a fantastic brewery about a block away and great restaurants nearby. Definitely worth the stay for the price & staff was great too.

Front desk was kind and helpful. The rooms were beautifully kept. The breakfast was tasty. So much parking. There seems to be many restaurants in the area and shopping centers. I did misread and thought they had a pool but that's okay it was a nice place to spend the weekend.

We went to the Mission Inn for our 5th Anniversary. I called ahead to notify the staff amd was told. "Thank you for letting us know. We'll do something special for you." Nothing was done. We enjoyed using the outdoor hot tub. The bed was comfortable. We werent too happy about the price. We felt they raised the rates due to the holiday weekend.
