Very close to beach and boardwalk. Sanitary and smelled okay (had a tile floor, thus, no absorbed smells of a carpet). AC excellent. Hot water good. TV was slow responding and confusing. WiFi very good. I would definitely stay again.

Do not stay here.
Pictures on website does not even remotely represent this motel. Service was fine. Motel is extremely rundown and filthy. The only plus that is one block from boardwalk.

The staff was very nice and accomidating. The room itself had a broken doorknob, broken shower head and rusty heater. Needed paint. The parking spaces were very tiny, leaving no room to get in and out of your vehicle. Exterior of building can use a lot of work. It was clean.

Not like pictured on Expedia webite. Bathrooms are not new as pictured on Expedia! Filthy room. Dangerous steps made of plank wood. I couldn't sleep after I felt something crawling on me, it was a centipede. The bed was hard as a rock. The room is worth $30 night stay not $100! Also, I use a cane but was given a 3rd floor room.

Cons: The property can use some major upgrades to both its interior and exterior. Sheets had stains on them, the shades on the lights were in poor condition and stained as well, bathroom door could not shut completely. Pros: quick check-in/check-out, pool was kept clean at all times, pool area is decently sized with 3 bbq grills at guest disposal, easy access to local food, beach/boardwalk, and convenient stores, not too loud of an area, tv and wifi, price of the hotel compared to others in the area for last minute booking.
