    The property is close to the boardwalk and beach. That is the ONLY good thing. You have to go to another motel to check in. There is never anyone but the cleaning staff on the property. Our room was semi clean, but the ceiling in the small nook of a closet had black mold on it , which is right beside the air conditioner. From day one I coughed any time I was in the room and also had a sore throat. The beds were horrible. There were three of us, and thankfully I brought towels and washclothes along. They didn’t have any washcloths to leave us the second day of our stay and only two towels and wash clothes the next day. There was no “quiet hours” as stated on their stay instructions (it said from 8. PM to 9 AM) . We were kept awake by loud partying and people in the pool until well after midnight every night but the last night. Also, there is no working ice machine. When we checked out, my husband told them about the mold and other problems, but the guy just said ok.

    Room smelled musty because the AC smelled like mildew. The toilet leaked in the bathroom. TV was fuzzy, barely any channels and on there, only the down channel works on the remote. No one answers the front desk phone and you have to check in and out at the Sahara.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The tub was clogged and then at 4:30 in the afternoon we had no clean towels, had to track down a maid for them Our last night there we had the police at the hotel 2 times, the second time there were 6 police officers there Never again!!!

    It was near the boardwalk Dirty rooms. Such a bad odor in the room we couldn’t stand being in the room. Also smelled like mold. The bedding was dirty looking and smelled. We had to sleep on blankets we brought so as not to touch the bed linens. We sprayed the room and the smell just lingered. The bathroom was clean to look at until you really looked at the sink and toilet. The place was a zoo. People outside their doors partying until 3am. Police arrived for a domestic next door. People in pool until 11 pm. No staff around. We were to stay two nights and left a night early. Terrible experience. Booking.com should be ashamed to offer this place as a hotel to book.

    Close to the beach The bed was uncomfortable had springs sticking out, the carpet was filthy they need take it out and put tile down, there were gnats in the bathroom, there was no working ice machine for any of the tenants, there was no immediate office you have to walk next door to another motel to check in.

    Location The property is dirty, outdated and poorly cared for. We did not feel safe with the other residents and there was a constant strong odor of weed.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Close to the beach

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    It was perfect area for my family. It’s walking distance to stores on boardwalk and beach was not as packed in this area. The other guests. Up all night in the pool screaming and yelling.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    No toilet paper when we arrived, black mold in the bathroom. A huge cockroach fell in my hair while I was sleeping. It was so big it woke me up. It took off before I had a chance to take a pic.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Convenient location, not far from the beach. Balcony Beds did not have protective sheet nor fitted sheet. Our towels were not replaced unless we asked them to if we saw them.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026
