Cheap. This place is good to save a buck and have access to the beach and boardwalk. You get what you pay for though. Room was gross, building is falling apart. Would I stay again?...yes. Why? Cheap. Go in knowing it's just a place to sleep and you'll be fine. expect nothing else.

The location was excellent it was right near everything. The motel itself is a little on the older side. The mattresses were not very comfortable but we only use it to sleep

Treat Yourself Not Your Wallet

Just needed a place to sleep over night. Went the cheap route. Condition of the motel was terrible. Entry door trouble to open and close due to deterioration. Air Conditioner accessible if you are 8 ft tall and 3 inches wide as you squeezed your way to get to it. Luckily your phone camera helped to see what you needed to do. On and off every 5 minutes all night long. TV stopped working after an hour and had to unplug to shut it off since the remote wouldn't do it. The adjoining room had a young family in it with a little girl who likes to scream which continued to 9pm and started up again at 6am. The bed was a nightmare. The pillows were as flat as can be. I couldn't find the sheets so I sleep with just the bedspread. Found sheets were all tucked in on four sides.I felt like a slept on rows of metal springs without padding. I had major trouble getting up from lying down. Every bone, muscle and nerve hurt from my neck to my feet. Don't do what I did. Even for one night treat yourself so you get sleep and can feel clean when you leave.

First of all their parking lot was way too small to be able to fit that amount of vehicles in the small spaces available. Some bigger vehicles take up two spaces. When we got to the room, our TV didn't work, the receptacles below the TV didn't work and neither did the little lamps aside of the TV. When I advised the manager at checkout that this stuff wasn't working, he just looked at me instead of offering a refund of some kind.

Not like pictured on Expedia webite. Bathrooms are not new as pictured on Expedia! Filthy room. Dangerous steps made of plank wood. I couldn't sleep after I felt something crawling on me, it was a centipede. The bed was hard as a rock. The room is worth $30 night stay not $100! Also, I use a cane but was given a 3rd floor room.

The staff was very nice and accomidating. The room itself had a broken doorknob, broken shower head and rusty heater. Needed paint. The parking spaces were very tiny, leaving no room to get in and out of your vehicle. Exterior of building can use a lot of work. It was clean.

It was only a couple blocks from the boardwalk which was nice but the rooms weren’t very clean, everything in the room was very old, the mini fridge was full of scratches and had stickers all over it. The toilet had stains on it from what looked like bleach and the shower had no liner on the tub so the floor would get all wet. The light was dim so it looked gloomy. There was open trash bags on the floor in the hallway so that wasn’t the best but the pool was nice and clean. It was a one night thing for me I don’t think I would return.
