We came down for the Boardwalk Rock 2 day concert, and it was awesome to stay at your hotel. The staff was very polite and the hotel was located far from the action, but extremely close to the beach. Transportion to the boardwalk was easy on the public bus. The whole facility was clean and it’s fantastic. That pets were allowed. We will remember that next time.

Pet Friendly

Decent for a quick weekend trip with the dogs. Room and bathroom were clean. No smells or stains which is nice for a pet friendly hotel. Room could use some updates, including the mattress. There is a dedicated area for pets by the pool. All in all, I would stay here again.

A nice place to stay for the money. It's a little far from the boardwalk but sometimes that's just the thing for a good night's rest.

Classic motel. Extra sink outside the bathroom was great when staying with 3 people. Big Mini fridge, microwave, a broom for the sand which was great, a large trash can, small pool but clean and secure parking. We had a full size coffee maker, wish I had brought my own coffee for a whole pot! Most importantly, it was clean and safe. We have stayed at other motels in the area, this isn’t my favorite but I would recommend staying here.

We had stayed here in 2018 and the property was newly renovated and clean. We revisited this property in 2024 and the room smelled like a dog salon. The room didn't feel clean, there was mold on the ceiling, and dust was covered in many areas - such as the headboard. To add insult to injury, our bathroom ceiling began to leak on our second day, so we decided to check out early and leave for another hotel.
