For an old, slightly outdated hotel it really is perfect for what it is, a place to crash while at the beach. Reasonably priced, clean, smelled good, has a nice pool.

Excellent location, and we had a good view from the balcony outside our room. Motel is a bit outdated and run down, but rooms are clean. It is what I expected for the price, and area.

The staff here were friendly & accomodating, we loved the location of our room to the pool & beach. the property could use some repair. The bathroom sink was not fixed, the shower faucet came off the wall, under the kitchen sink there was black mold, some of the windows would not open. However, the staff was generous with towels, TP, and even gave us a coffee pot and pots and pans to use at no charge. Also, the security guard seemed to not notice the teenagers dangling from the balconies.

I rented the apartment it is very small and the pull out couch is a leather futon with a board down it. We had to go buy a blow up mattress also we had to pay the 13 dollars a day for the beach with a family of 7 everyday because we did not get free access at booking. We also couldn’t have two parking spots even thought we had so a large family. The bathroom was so small if u weigh over 120 u can’t fit on the toilet bc it is beside the sink u have to sit sideways. Underneath the sink was nothing but black mold. We also had to buy a tv bc there is only one tv in the room when it is an apartment there is suppose to be 2. Very unhappy with the stay. On a good note very convenient to the beach and didn’t find any bed bugs I searched. The place was very loud at night no staff stopped it.

If you want a place close to beach and boardwalk…this is a find. It’s old, run down but it works. We were 4…2 adults,2 kids……2 nights was plenty.

Great for the price !
This was a surprisingly good place for the value. Workers were super nice and the price was great especially for beginning of August. Now you can get much nicer places but you would be paying for it. The pool was also nice. I would definitely stay here again especially if I’m looking to save money.

My daughter plays travel ball and we have stayed in hundreds of hotels. I have never payed over $200 per night. This hotel was $249. We have stayed in a few bad hotels but this one tops the list. The bathroom door didn’t even close. Wood was rotted, ceiling stained, etc. Dirtiest hotel ever.

Average, kind of old and a little crusty, but decent enough for one night. Pool was a lot smaller than photos made it appear but clean and lots of families enjoying it. Facilities are old and outdated but room was clean enough, smelled like bleach, great location for boardwalk and proximity to island beach state park, wouldn’t stay here again though.

They charged us for the room twice when I told them about it they said it’s not their problem and was arguing with me so be careful if you pay online when you get over there they will say you didn’t pay at all and charge u again horrible experience

Good points: staff was very nice and friendly. The bed was very comfortable. Everything (shower, air conditioner, TV, refrigerator, microwave, ice machine, swimming pool) worked. Great location right across from the boardwalk and only blocks from the amusement park. And the swimming pool, though small, was very nice. Cons: I have never before stayed in a building that felt structurally unsound, but this one did. We were on the third (no elevator) floor. The stairs themselves were solid, but some of the metal railings were held in place with hose clamps. And the floors, which were probably originally concrete, had been covered by what felt like plywood sheets covered in fiberglass and painted grey. In some spots the flooring felt hollow or spongy when you stepped on it. The door to our room was rotted and split, and had been bolted back together. The dead bolt didn't work, and the door knob lock looked like it could be defeated with a plastic butter knife. We were never sure that it was actually locked. There wasn't a level surface in our room, and when the people next door started moving furniture around it felt like the whole building was shaking. Other than that there were no lights aside from the ceiling lights, so it was pretty dark in the room. There was literally no place to hang anything. No closet area, no wall hooks, nothing. And the shower curtain rod was only attached (loosely) to the wall on one end, so that wasn't going to hold anything.
