The location was as good as it gets! There is not a single property that offers better value and is literal steps from the boardwalk! Staff was very accommodating with our request for an early check-in.
This is the second time we have stayed here. The family suite is very comfortable, location is fantastic, and staff were all very friendly. We enjoy this place and will stay here again.
Had a great stay, loved the fact that there was 3 beds since I have older kids who do not like to share a bed. Location was great, will definitely book again.

Staff: 5 stars
Cleanliness: 5 stars
Quality of room: 2-3 stars (outdated/old motel, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re wanting to be right by the boardwalk)
We appreciated the convenient location walking distance to the boardwalk, very clean large size rooms, great price, and especially friendly and accommodating staff. We would stay here again.
The rooms were clean. The staff was very helpful. Parking was available but needed so help finding it. Air conditioning was great and windows could be opened to feel the ocean breeze.

The property was clean and its location was perfect. Unfortunately, there were very rowdy guests that kept us up both nights and the motel has no security or staff after 10 pm to help. Rooms have no phone or alarm clocks.
Super close to the boardwalk, we only had to cross a parking lot to get there. The room was clean, the staff was nice.
Exceptionally convenient location.
In terms of accommodating two families it was great two bedrooms full kitchen big frig walkable to boardwalk however not enough towel washcloths for all of us no soap in shower dispenser would have liked a small lute breakfast but only coffee parking very limited for most but staff accommodated us nicely

Can’t beat the location. Room was average for a motel, but the location and fact that it was full of families made it feel “safer”.
Staff was completely rude. Wouldn’t even let us unload our belongings without being told to move at least 2x.
With the small lot, they should give you at least 5 minutes to unload your vehicle.
