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.

4/10 Poor

Kathleen

Disliked: Amenities
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.

Do not stay here.

Pictures on website does not even remotely represent this motel. Service was fine. Motel is extremely rundown and filthy. The only plus that is one block from boardwalk.

Very close to beach and boardwalk. Sanitary and smelled okay (had a tile floor, thus, no absorbed smells of a carpet). AC excellent. Hot water good. TV was slow responding and confusing. WiFi very good. I would definitely stay again.
