The hotel manager and staff were wonderful, really demonstrated an actual concern to address any issues that enabled us to have a wonderful stay. The queen studio was a nice size, separate bedroom from the kitchen/living room. Would stay here again.

Staff was very kind. Motel was kind of dirty. Cigarette butts sitting in an ashtray next to our room, mold on the side of the tub, sticky rugs, just dirty in general.

The room was clean but it was very noisy. AC unit was extremely loud and the bathroom tub drain gurgled when other rooms would flush their toilets.

The towel rod was missing from my bathroom. The queen bedroom door was difficult to completely close as it would get stuck. But there were no bed bugs and it was a short walk to the boardwalk.

The only good thing is that was walking distance from the beach. The room conditions were poor, it has a humid smell, towels and blankets smells the same. Didn’t have a chair, or a table to sit or put your things. Bathroom was very small.

The room was clean and the check in was quick. The AC worked pretty well and the staff was friendly. I guess you get what you pay for. The beds were flimsy and not very comfortable, the room did not have a working cable box. The bathroom was extremely small to where the space between the toilet and the bathtub was super tight. I guess for a 1 night is ok but I would not stay here again.
