Nice, little hotel right by the foot path to the beach. You can tell this is an older hotel, but it has been completely redone and is well maintained. It still has the quaint feel of a classic beach hotel.

This was a gem of a find!! And I could not have been happier! The Motel was far enough from the Pier to not hear the crowd and or the rides, yet walkable and safe. Close to restaurants and the beach was out the door and a walk through the parking lot! The coffee offered outside the lobby was actually great coffee and had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners. So courteous, professional and pleasant! Made me feel good to know my money went to someone who takes pride and care in what he is offering for a stay. I will definitely be back to this hotel many times! I make my way east each year and take different routes but always on Route 1 .. This hotel works absolutely great for our trips to the cabin. The room was clean, it was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

The room was very clean, thin walls we could hear people walking around. Lots of security cameras so we felt safe. Parking was very limited. Right next to the beach you can walk right down the path and be at the ocean.

It was very clean. Room clean. What I didn't like was the size of the parking lot. The whole property was a tight squeeze. The way staff watched every move you made.

One of the nicer hotels on the beach. Rooms look renovated and updated. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Overall a nice place to stay. If I had to nitpick, my one suggestion would be to place families with children on the bottom floor as opposed to the top so those people who want to sleep in a little later aren’t woken up early in the morning by children slamming doors and running up and down the hallways upstairs

Great Family Vacation Spot

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect spot for a quiet family vacation. The grounds were kept very clean and tidy. We stayed on the second floor and had a clear view of the ocean. Very close to the downtown area. I would be happy to stay here again.
