The staff was super helpful. Our room was clean. We were impressed by the amount of security and safety. If you are looking for a beach motel I recommend this place. Only downside was street noise which is unavoidable due to location of across street from boardwalk.

Great spot for beach/boardwalk access. Weeknights were mild but as we checked out on a Friday morning you can tell the weekend crowd in the ‘area’ were coming.

One block from the boardwalk. Room clean. The mattress is worn and needs to be replaced. No linen/towel replacement in a 3-day stay. Desk personnel were very friendly. Was allowed to go into the room early. The pool was well-maintained. AC worked well but loud. Would stay affordable short trips.

Disliked: Staff & service
Parking situation was horrible but great location, basically on the boardwalk which made getting to the beach & nightlife a breeze. Had a poor experience checking in, front desk staff was very rude and condescending. The toilet in our room made a very loud screeching sound when flushed and the bathroom smelled heavily of mildew. Not the worst hotel I've stayed in in the area but I likely will not return.
