Great location and loved the outside shared balcony overlooking the boardwalk and ocean. Motel was pretty clean. My only negative about this place would be the Moldy/Mildew smell in the room.

Nice hotel for a little getaway

It was nice stay. The hotel was clean and the location was great. Still on the boardwalk but not down in the crowded area. We were within walking distance of plenty of restaurants. Common balcony was a nice area to sit a people watch on the balcony both day and night.
