The staff was amazingly kind and welcoming. I wouldn’t stay here again though, it was booked in a pinch on a last minute trip. Outside of the motel or staff control, it’s just an extremely loud place to stay. You can hear everyone around you, people were constantly yelling and then smoking on the balcony next to the large no smoking sign. The beds are so uncomfortable, my back feels like I was ran over by a car and then they reversed over my body just to run me over again. In the motels control, the toilets have a sanitized paper ring closing the lid to appear cleaned. The toilet seat in our room had poop all over it. I tried to gaslight myself but there’s not disguising a strangers skid marks. Anyway, not my favorite place. Again, the staff was incredibly kind and I didn’t want to complain to them but I did let them know because, gross, they did apologize and that was the extent of that. I do think I’ll never book here again lol hope this helps in your choice!

Room is fine. I would stay away for the hidden fees and shady practices. I’ve been waiting 2 weeks for the security deposit back and was charged a late check out fee even though I checked out an hour early. The worker on site is not helpful and giving me the run around about deposit back.

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.

Cheapest hotel with a really short walking distance to the boardwalk. Not the cleanest or nicest hotel but if you are on a budget its definitely an option.
