Wife beater motel. No front desk personnel to deal with emergencies. No noise hours enforced. People do what they want. Not very safe. It gets two stars instead of one because it's walking distance from the boardwalk.

The key to the door never worked. We kept on going back to the front desk to get them rekeyed. Just was very annoyed. Plus they wouldn’t split the bill with my friend and I. The gentleman didn’t understand. I wouldn’t come back.

Booked last minute for a holiday weekend. Only thing near the boardwalk that was under 500/night. for over 300/night it was definitely not worth that cost. The pool was dirty (bandages and other debris floating in it) freezing cold, not heated at all. If the pool was a little heated and cleaner I would find the cost to be OK. the room was clean, but the whole building looks and feels like it is going to fall down. Parking is TIGHT. Owner said 24 rooms and 24 spaces to park. A couple cars parked where there weren't designated space though. Back into a spot or you will have difficulty getting out.

The hotel sits on a busy road, so you can hear all the noise from the bikers, trucks, etc. There is no soundproofing at all! At night, we could hear the sound of neighbor's TV, at 5 am - seagulls. But what is absolutely the worst is their beds! They have metal frames and some sort of metal springs that make a loud noise every time you sit down, get up or turn in bed. The worst hotel we have ever experienced.

Cost effective and very nice upgraded rooms. The outside doesn’t match how lovely the rooms were and bonus is you can walk to the boardwalk and the wharf very easily. Staff was super nice and you could grab coffee, cereal, or granola bar every morning. Awesome and super happy with our stay!

Family trip, 2 rooms, 1 double queen & 1 king.

We arrived and were able to check in right away. Check-in took a little longer than usual, but hey we got our room! We did ask for connectings rooms but he mentioned that they had to be the same, but he still put us next to each other which was great! Breakfast was coffee, orange juice, cereal, bananas, and chewy bars. Just something quick not actual breakfast. The rooms each had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Shower has full bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash just in case you forget or don't want to pack it. Beds were comfy and pillows were too. Our phone did not work, not sure why. The AC we figured out had a trick to it or it keeps turning of and room can get hot & stuffy! I do believe they do housekeeping to every room daily, so tell them you don't want it because there is no sign for door. The housekeepers were very nice and friendly! Parking is pretty tight and even worse when you have people who don't park right. We had no issue with our parking and rarely moved because everything was walking distance for us. Pool was small but perfect. It went from 4ft to 7 feet deep! My kids and family enjoyed it. Doesn’t need to be a big pool to have fun! Plus, it was just some downtime we had from other plans. Only issue was cold water pressure was low-none & they shut off our water to fix a leak and didn't inform us until i went to ask. You're walking distance to the boardwalk, restaurants, beach, and much more. I would definitely stay here again!

A/C only blows outside air, probably needs recharge, and the unit was filthy. Room was very stuffy and you can't open windows. No drapes, wood shutters don't close tight so excessive light at bed time. Road/traffic noise outside very loud so hard to get to sleep. Bathroom shower black mold. Ice machine broken, juice machine broken, soda machine broken. Location near the boardwalk though if you can put up with the above. After we left, the manager added a $5.70 charge to our cc although we fully paid through Orbitz. I called and he said that was a mistake and he would take it off.
