The staff was awesome! This was last minute booking due to a horrible motel experience minutes prior. We were so lucky to get this spot.it was perfect for us as we a Jersey shore fans and not only were we right on the boardwalk we were next door to the shore house!!!!! The outlets were not the best they wouldn’t hold our chargers or anything. The beds were a little old and wonky however over all it was great!!!

Staff were very nice at check in. The pictures are very deceiving very run down and dirty. Free parking but they made me park under a large sign in between two metal poles. This was a very tight spot I couldn’t avoid hitting the poles. Location is okay as it is on the boardwalk but the very far end. No pool which sucked. Wouldn’t return.

Not pleased with parking bc I have a disability and had to park in their lot a block and a half away. Room was much smaller than we thought. The shower again was not good bc of my disability...unable to get in and move. The manager Mohammed was EXTREMELY nice to us. Loved the closeness to the beach! The breeze was amazing. Definitely a hotel meant for younger adults.

I booked 3 rooms and ended up with 2. The 3 rooms was in the basement of the hotel separated from each other and did not have a private bath. Falsely advertised! I was told there was free parking, however make sure you only bring one car, we had two and had to pay for parking for the other car off of the property. The beds were awful, and the bathroom was tiny and had no mirror. We were 5 people and they gave us very few towels. I was with my family so had a great time anyway and made the best of one night in a shore motel. It was a last minute booking and the only place that had availablity so that should have told me something.

Great price. Everything worked. Having apps on the tv was unexpected and a bonus. Free water and coffee 24/7. Everything was clean. Staff was fantastic. Bed frame looked cheap but it was actually really great on my back. Complaints, not much. The carpet was too tall for the bathroom door so I had to fold the carpet back. My gf went to shut the shower door and it fell off the track and is solid glass. Lucky it didnt shatter. No beach badges included or, or for sale in motel. I'm just used to other hotels that give you one (in this state of extortion for beach access).
