The location was great! The pictures look way nicer than in person. It’s definitely motel rooms. They say there is coffee between 8am and 10am but you get coffee packets to take to your room. This is very budget inn and especially for the price of the rooms.

No "elevator" as stated; also parking area was being paved; recieved notification notice late;was NOt able to cancel reservation. Nice staff; very clean hotel room & outdoor patio. Ideal for large familes with children, Ideal location across from Beach Boardwalk. Back parking area very shady with heavy metal door entrance; but we made it work for a few days of stay.

This motel is nothing fancy but perfect for a family wanting to stay close to the boardwalk. 6 of us were comfortable able to stay in 1 room with awsome views. Nothing fancy here but comfortable and easy. Staff were friendly. Will stay here again in the future.

This place is old but has good bones. The room was HUGE, with full size fridge and stove. It honestly was a mini apartment. The second bed was in a separate room. So it was really nice for the wife and I to have private time and not worry about the kids seeing us, you can just close the door. I definitely would come back here again!!!
