The room was clean. It was a quiet area. Great place to stay if you’re planning to go to the Pier/beach. You can walk to the beach. It was affordable for how close it is to the beach.
-
Bathroom had a bucket under lav sink, some crumbling drywall and flakey paint. No complimentary shampoo and uncomfortable bed and bedding. Wi-fi worked ok. I wished I had spent another $40 and been more comfortable.
-
the litle kitchen was very helpfull. (even do they forgot to clean it mind u). the people was very understanding and friendly. However i recomend the place.

Great basic hotel to stay for a short term. Very friendly staff.

Cleaning training for any new maids is recommended. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful.

Check in was easy and staff was pleasant. No complaints other than there wasn’t shampoo or even soap to wash our hands.

Our stay was fabulous. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was updated and perfect, although the bed could use a pillow top cover. It was a nice walk to the boardwalk too.

CLEAN ROOM

The ice machine needed a quarter, which wasn't obvious. The clerk provided one for us, fortunately. The TV never worked even though they did attempt to fix it. Noisy neighborhood late into the night. It was the first place on our trip where I didn't want to leave anything in the car overnight.

They need to upgrade their amnities.

Not even clean enough for one night. The room smelled really bad and the bedding was not clean. They didn’t even have paper tissue and when I asked for they said they don’t provide any. Even the out side was really dirty

Good place to stay, and not too far of a walk to the boardwalk. The only "complaint" I have is that it costs .25 cents if you want ice. The staff was very nice when I arrived and the room was a good size room also. I would stay there again.

Very nice staff I will say but I can’t lie whatever you paid for the room (especially during peak season) it should probably be less. The room was pretty tore up and the tv didn’t even have a remote. The shower drain cover was falling off and a lot of the furniture was ripped. The floors felt kinda greasy and grimy and the towels were super thin. But at least the sheets were clean, bed was comfy, easy parking, & they don’t price gouge as much as some of these other spots. Walking distance to boardwalk!
