Used condom wrapper under the bed, toilet seat was dirty/cracked, and could have been a little more updated. Area was very quiet, though! Parking was tight, not ideal for larger vehicles.

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.

For the rate, the condition of this motel was terrible, this place would have be expensive at 60 bucks a night let alone 400 plus, if there would have vacancies elsewhere after i arived and seen the condition i would have left.

Honestly I was hesitant about staying here because some of the reviews but it wasn’t bad. The only complaint I have is there was a lot of hair in the sink and in the bath tub that shouldn’t have been there if it was cleaned right. It was a close walk to the boardwalk and that’s what I wanted. I would stay here again.

I appreciated the reasonable price being within walking distance to the boardwalk and eateries. I liled the big wall window from room 121, very cool! The blanket had hole burnt into it, possible someone smoking which isnt allowed but I figure the laundry staff should throw that blanket away.

It was really close to the boardwalk which was the goal. When we came in it was okay, but as we checked the room around, there was some empty water bottles under the bed, it was pretty dusty. They definitely did not clean the floor. Ac does almost nothing. the water inside the bathroom would smell at certain times and the bathroom fan did not work.

Great area, walkable to anything and with free parking is an automatic plus! Room was a little small, facilities in the room didnt work great but got the job done, would stay here again based on convenience of the location, but definitely a little pricey for what youre getting out of the stay, overall 3.5/5, worth the trip for a last minute getaway

Checked into the property and front office smelled like curry. At furst he didnt want to give us a second key but relented. Went to our room and it had a ckeaning smell in it. Which I suppose is good but noted hair in the bathroom and shower. Took 10 min before lukewarm water came out of the faucet to wash up and same for the shower! Motel is located on a very busy intersection so I didnt get much sleep at all! Felt like people were outside my door all night! Only positive was it was walking distance to the Boardwalk.
