I’ve been traveling since I was a kid, so I know what to expect when it comes to motels- honestly this one was really great! Super clean, beds were made neatly and very clean, room was fresh and smelled nice, the bathroom was clean and towels for showering were provided. There was both a microwave and fridge in our room. The host was very kind and easy to communicate with. The area itself is all walkable, you can get to the boardwalk easily. The parking was easy and accessible. Checkout was prompt and easy. Thanks again!

There was no hot water in the morning that we left so we could not take showers. The windows were not very thick/airtight because the road/people noise during the night was extremely loud. Very difficult to sleep.

This property is very old and run down. They are obviously not reinvesting any profits into making improvements of any kind. A little bit of deep-cleaning, wall patching, and paint could go a long way toward cleaning the place up. They obviously don't have any pride in the property.
