This was a nice, convenient shore hotel. It’s bare bones- no coffee maker, blow dryer or ice machine, but has a microwave and mini fridge. Owners are very nice and cooperative It has a little pool that was clean. I recommend it.

Staff was very nice, close to beach. BUT property was dirty, the dust on the curtains, ceiling vents and ac unit looked like it was there for years, black mold in the shower, and the bathroom was barely big enough for 1 person to fit. Only 2 outlets in the entire room. NOT in any way close to the description or photos on Expedia , very unhappy

Good, low cost stay
Location just blocks from the boardwalk is excellent! The owners were friendly, efficient and very helpful. The room was clean. The room and bathroom were much smaller than I could tell by the pictures on-line but having three beds to spread out on was great and the room size was just fine for our one night stay. I could not tell by the photos, but there was a small 2-burner stove between the sink and mini fridge. No kitchen supplies at all are available so bring along what you will need for cooking. The pool was small but clean and our family enjoyed swimming after the beach. All-in-all it was a good, economical stay.

Room Switch and Upcharge
Staff were friendly. They failed to charge my card and original room was unavailable despite calling me. Offered a second room at a discount however, was not budgeting for the extra cost and cannot exactly turn it down after a long hot drive from Canada. Owner claimed I was called ahead of time, however they called me previously no problem and have correct number on form. When I mentioned this they had conversation in a different language in front of me, which is quite suspect. Overall, not a bad stay, typical Seaside Motel but be prepared for shenanigans and possible upselling.

Would stay again!
It was perfect, as I was not expecting glamor. I was just looking for a safe, clean and close place to boardwalk. All of these were spot on. Bathroom a little small but I would stay again. Owners wonderful and friendly.

Staff are friendly. Short distance from walk board and water park. Very small bathroom, no space to change cloths inside if you have 2 o 3 people they need to wait out side of the room. Little pushing on the cost for the tiny rooms they offer... pool very small and the stair to get in the pool are unsafe.
