Cafe on location is amazing. Tower building elevator nice after long days. Staff was super friendly and always glad to help. A couple of nice pools and right off the boardwalk and beach. Great location. Great price.

⸻ The location near the boardwalk was the main reason we chose this place. This was my first time staying here, and at first, I thought the building would be right on the beach because the website made it seem that way. But in reality, it’s actually one block away. That said, the room I stayed in had a partial ocean view through the gap between buildings, which was a pleasant surprise and made up for it. There are two pool areas, one on each side, which was very convenient for guests — a big plus. Considering the location and the price during this time of year, I think it was fair and reasonable. It’s a price point that feels accessible. The bedding in the room could use an update. The pillows were soft, but they had lost their shape and didn’t provide much support. I always bring my own pillow when I travel – it just makes sleeping so much more comfortable.

Good for stay

It’s ok for stay during the summer. Price is friendly compared to other near boardwalks. Another good thing is near by Starbucks and CVS.

This property has 3 buildings, only one is on the boardwalk. There are no bathrooms for guests to use from the pool or beach. The building I was in is old . There are no modern things such as Wi-Fi or places to plug in devices unless you bring your own cord with the plug in part. They say there is Wi-Fi but we could not access it at all- the front desk said it must be a town issue( but we could see the WI-FI names of other hotels around us?. )It covers the basics, bed(s), bathroom, small fridge and a microwave. There are no elevators and not really handicapped accessible.

For the most part the staff was friendly. The motel is very dated, with that being said it was very clean. For example, even though there was carpet in the room, the room still smelled good upon entering. The bathroom was a little small but still clean. The pools were well maintained and clean as well. The best part was the location was perfect.

Very clean and super friendly and accommodating staff. Hotel feels dated, and beds are slightly uncomfortable but for our price point, it was doable.

The first room I was in was great. Clean, ocean front with balcony. Wonderful. I paid for that room in full. I had to change rooms because my First room was an added day. That was on me. No problem. The downfall started with my then 5 night stay. I booked my added room with the motel directly. When I spoke with the gentleman, he matched the same room I booked with Expedia. Again oceanfront. Make sure you know what you’re choosing. either ocean front or ocean view. Let me tell ya… Ocean view isn’t a view. it’s to look at the spinakkers (hotel next door) parking lot. The best. I was put in the second room by them because they overbooked my OCEAN FRONT room.WITHOUT INFORMING ME or making me aware. Yes there is a difference in price but I had to ask for a reimbursement. There were no accommodations. Wasn’t moved to what I paid for. Mind you this was booked in march or April…. Next.. my room was cleaned without asking one time. From there on I had to call more than once during the day to have someone come up and give me towels. And lastly. They have a crazy ant problem. I now found myself putting listerine in a spray bottle, terminating the ants because the person who was to come and exterminate them never did. Location of it is wonderful. And the people are genuinely nice. However, they really need to step their game up here. Absolutely unacceptable! I’m From the city. If I wanted to look at parked cars I can look outside my own window.
