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!!!

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.

I would love to give this motel a great review based on how nice the staff was. Unfortunately the property was filthy. The floors and floorboards looked like the inside of a gas station bathroom. Dirty shower, hair and mystery substance on the wall. I immediately went to the office and complained. They did have the cleaning service come back and clean however there was still visible dirt and grime. I think the room was so far gone it really needed like a professional deep cleaning company to come in. The location is great! Right accross from the boardwalk. Other than that I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it was far as how dirty it was.
