Not the hotel’s fault, but the folks in the room next to me were loud until really late and it made for poor sleep. Otherwise, just an average hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The singular staff member was creepy and made me feel uneasy. The back of the hotel over looks private residents who's yards are just packed with literal trash. The walls were dirty and there were unknown dirty splashes on the walls in the bathroom. The only positive thing I have to say is that the rooms themselves were very large .

Ocean breeze was great

Lovely view of the boardwalk and ocean even though there was a road between the motel and the ocean. Balcony was great and interior decor was well done.
