We had a room on the pool side and it was lovely! Rooms on the opposite side face the highway. It is quaint and our two room suite was very spacious-slept 4 easily with the pull out couch.

DONT SRAY HERE!!!

My stay here was just terrible! The beds were super uncomfortable, the bathroom was disgusting and small. There was mold all over the shower walls, there wasn’t enough towels or shampoo and the shower head was breaking off. The ac unit made too much noise and you just feel disgusting waking up in their beds. It’s just a terrible terrible experience and feeling. I will never stay here again. The ONLY plus side is that it’s close to the boardwalk but next time I will pay more for a better experience. This is a rundown motel.

The property has been posted in such a way that it disguise that it is a hotel but the reality is that it is a motel. And as a simple motel it is very expensive.
