Close to the boardwalk.

Nice little motel just a block from the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Complete with parking and close to just about everything. Before we went there we read up about the wonderful hospitality of Greta and were certainly not disappointed. All in all a pleasant place to stay.

October beach trip

The 40’s motel is holding up well with owners loving touches. The shower was upgraded with a stone style tile. Room had everything one would expect. Location good is great for families, a block from beach & boardwalk.

MOLD! NO PRIVACY!! No hot water to kitchen sink, couch leg broken, mold all over bathroom ceiling, no sink or mirror in bathroom. Sink in bedroom - the water wouldn’t drain. Hear every word of neighbors from an inside thin door and we could see their shadows walking by from inside our room from 1/2” gap to floor. TV was glued to table so couldn’t turn for different viewing angle. Outside lights lit up the room better than the actual lights inside. Pull out beds very uncomfortable.

Close to boardwalk. We have a larger van style vehicle so it was much better for us to use the large lot. Overflow parking lot was close and monitored. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
