We ran out of toilet paper in the middle of the night. We couldn’t shower as there was no hot water. The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable

Dear Michelle,I am sorry you were unhappy with your stay. Our office is open late but we do close the office after 1am. I personally checked the room after you left and checked for the hot water and it was coming perfectly fine. I wish you had mentioned during your stay so we could have troubleshooted the problem while happening. We recently changed the water heater so there is no reason for hot water not to come. Unfortunately some guests likes soft or hard pillow so it is hard to please everyone and same goes with mattress. Once again I am sorry your stay was not enjoyable.

Conveniences galore!
We came for an end-of-summer getaway, but we just happened to hit a rainy couple of days. So even though it was August, we were literally the only guests, I think. So it was definitely quiet, lol. This is an older hotel, so it's certainly not fancy. But what we love about it is how incredibly convenient everything is. Right across the street is a convenience store where we get coffee each morning (the owner is SO NICE). The hotel is a couple short blocks from the boardwalk and the Mexican restaurant Spicy, which I'm obsessed with. If you're with kids it's nice because they have an outdoor pool, plus it's close to the section of the boardwalk where the rides are. There's also parking included. You seriously can't beat the convenience. I will say, though, that this year, in contrast with previous years, the owner sent us about a million emails before and after our stay. I heard from him more than my mother for a while there. They should probably tone down the correspondence, lol.

Best Deal Around, Super Nice Staff
Great staff and service. Nice big bathroom, handicapped accessible, however cleaning product used made the floor there slippery, so a bath mat would have been nice and probably super important for any disabled person. Mattress great, nice to have fridge and microwave. We really appreciated being able to park early even on a busy Sunday. Best value around and nicely run convenience store right across! Thanks for everything!

Dear Danielle,We are aware we do not have ice machine and we are not planning on putting anytime soon. We do not advertise anywhere we offer free ice. There is store across the street which sells ice. Elevator is service each month and it works well.

Usually in seaside we stay at the Hershey motel but for a quick last minute booking we found this place a bit cheaper, the photos online looked good so for an over night we tried it out. We have 2 small kids and was placed on the 1st floor which was super accommodating for us, the walk to the beach was very close for the holiday weekend it wasn’t loud at all with younger people above us, the kids loved it we loved it majority of our time was at the beach but for the time we slept and had a meal the room was good for! Checking in was very easy as well! Super friendly and nice at check out too! Parking lot was also easy to get into not crowded and our car was right in from of our room!

I have stayed at this hotel 4 times now. It's a great location only about one and a half blocks to the boardwalk. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. My daughter and I will continue staying here for years to come always a great time.

Decent stay , no complaints ......
Stay was good ... nothing special about the room , standard room , 2 beds , regular cable , bathroom ..... was a little disapointed with the pool ... was very very small and they put it behind the second part of the hotel so when the sun comes up it is blocked by the hotel so it doesnt heat up the water till after 12 or 1 pm . Other then that it was a decent stay . Close to the beach and boardwalk , about a block and a half away which was cool .

Hi Dung, We are deeply sorry for the room issue. I wish you had brought it to our attention during the stay so we could have changed the blanket and also fix the lock issue. Our front desk staff is professional and only smoke cigarettes on the job. We hope you do give us another opportunity to serve you better experience next time.
