Good location to the boardwalk

This motel is a great location from the boardwalk. It made it easy to go back and rest when we needed a break. The beds were comfy and it was pretty quiet at night. The location of this motel looked a little sketchy but overall we had a good night stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, good size room

We stayed in the large room that had a king size bed, and two queens, nothing fancy, but it is perfect for our family size and very close to the boardwalk at a reasonable price.
Shelly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to the boardwalk

Jennifer, 1-night trip

Great spot to stay for the price and location with the free parking you can’t beat it
Behrooz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

First time staying here and it was really convenient! Walking out the boardwalk through the arcade it’s about a 2 minute walk to the room. Check in was a breeze. Park, check in, and front desk helps you find a spot. Would definitely stay here again.
Raymon, 1-night trip

Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We have been here many times. The staff is always nice. It is not a high end place but it is close to the boardwalk.
Veronica, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for weekend

Stayed right across the street in this awesome little hotel with easy access to the beach and whole boardwalk.
Austin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was small and in kind of a run down condition. Bathroom was just fine. As soon as we got into the room, which did not have a security lock, my husband killed a wolf spider that we assume came in through the gap under the front door. No cable tv. Toiletries were affixed to the walls. Parking lot was a tight fit. The only reason we chose it was due to it being across the street from the Boardwalk.
Tiana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to boardwalk and bowling alley. Location is great.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The gentleman at the desk was friendly and helpful. We were able to park and walk to the beach, boardwalk and breakfast!!! Cleaning services does a great job making it feel clean and not sandy.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Place was quiet, close to the boardwalk, staff was very nice, the only complaint would be the AC didn't work.
Deanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The owner is the sweetest man! He upgraded us for free and made sure that we were taken care of.
Mary, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff very friendly and helpful. Close to boardwalk, updated and clean.
Myra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly front desk clean room quiet walkable and great location for boardwalk
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Two AC units in our unit. Neither one worked. Staff said they were replacing a transformer, but it wasn’t a power outage. They did bring us fans that made it kind of bareable. The paint was chipping and looked like rush job. The smoke detector was painted pink which is against compliance. The bed was fine. Parking was close to boardwalk to easily walk there. The front desk lady was amazing and super nice. I think it could be a nice place but needs some maintenance.
Ambrosia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was great for the price. The room was clean. Our daughter loved the seperate room. There is no closet, but other than that is was really good. Check in was easy.
Samantha, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice room but noisy neighborhood

Very close to the boardwalk and the wharf, room was spacious and the staff was friendly. If you are looking to sleep past 6am this is not the place, extremely noisy neighborhood.
