  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The staff was very helpful. They brought us a iron to iron our clothes The parking situation was fine wasn’t crowded Other than that, the day was adequate and also really close to the boardwalk which we did appreciate

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Affordable and close to the boardwalk. No amenities.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Floors needed a good mopping. Just overall feels meh. Staff was really lovely though.

    They dont have breakfast

    It’s a cheap room and you get what you pay for. I love that it’s reasonably priced walking distance to ocean. I wish they had some cameras facing the room halls, I’m not sure if they do. And we stayed two nights I wished they would have offered us towels and taken out the trash. But the front desk ppl were very nice and they gave us a great room that ended up being so fun so I really can’t complain. I had loud 16 year old boys and the managers were below us and never complained.

    Place was terrible , AC did not work and no parking . When we asked for parking like they offer they said to make our own parking and they where not responsible for anything and there cameras didn’t work either . Place is overpriced and bad rooms

    The shower worked great, interesting room set up, you have to climb stairs to get to the bathroom. I don’t know if all rooms were like that. You better take your own pillow, you only get two cheap flat pillows. The bed was a bit concerning. Comforter looked old and warn. What do you expect for around $100 a night. It’s walking distance to the Boardwalk, which is good if you’re staying a few nights. I don’t know if I would book there again. I wasn’t completely satisfied with the bed, and that’s important.

    I stayed for three days, and the room was never cleaned; I had to go ask for toilet paper. It is on the second floor, and the safety railing is dangerous for children because it wobbles if you hold onto it.

    Staff was very nice. The location in relation to the boardwalk was great. There were cobwebs in the room and some fruit flies flying around. The parking is severely limited and hard to get in and out of. It also has a pretty strong urine smell but I don't think the staff can do much about that, unfortunately. One of our children found a folded dollar bill full of a white powdery substance at the bottom of the rear steps which was highly concerning, but also, no fault of the staff.

    Parking was good. No ice machine. We had to cross the street to a neighbor super 8 motel for ice. 2 flat pillows per bed only. Room was floor was sandy. Bathroom exhaust wasn’t working. Stuffy cause the ac unit wasn’t cooling.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    They made us parked on the no parking because everyone took the parking spot

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice clean comfortable room. Good location with parking. Good value

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Superb

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nothing There was no hot water, so nobody was able to take a shower. There was wifi connection but it wasn’t connected to the internet. The rooms were getting all of the noise from outside. Looks like the hotel didn’t refund fully the deposit money to me.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Not aplicable The first thing the guy at the front desk asked was if my son, who is on the autism spectrum, he aske dif he was loud because guests might complain. That made me feel really uncomfortable. Also, he asked for a physical credit card, but I only had a digital one since I was using a third-party lender. I was upset that I went through the trouble booking online, where it stated that the lender I used was accepted by this Motel, and to get there for them not to accept it and cancel my reservation.

    The location was great; only a couple blocks from the boardwalk. The staff was nice and accommodating, but the room was less than mediocre. The bathroom counter and floor were dirty. When I dropped the towel on the floor and picked it up, it was dirty, as if it hadn’t been swept and mopped for a long time. The room floor felt very dirty, and in one spot, it smelled like urine. I wore socks when I stepped on the floor. Great location but the room was nasty.

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was clean had microwave and fridge as advertised. Also a TV. The drywall was a little rough. Very noisy traffic, but no fault of the owners. Thankfully it quieted down at night. Good place for a short stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was so nice and this was a perfect hotel close to the Boardwalk. We'll be back!
