I’ve been traveling since I was a kid, so I know what to expect when it comes to motels- honestly this one was really great! Super clean, beds were made neatly and very clean, room was fresh and smelled nice, the bathroom was clean and towels for showering were provided. There was both a microwave and fridge in our room. The host was very kind and easy to communicate with. The area itself is all walkable, you can get to the boardwalk easily. The parking was easy and accessible. Checkout was prompt and easy. Thanks again!

There was no hot water in the morning that we left so we could not take showers. The windows were not very thick/airtight because the road/people noise during the night was extremely loud. Very difficult to sleep.

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.
