I didn’t even stay there. Took a look at 2 different rooms and they were so stinking that I didn’t even check in. Call Expedia to cancel and when Expedia call them they were nasty. That was the only motel with available rooms. I wonder why.

Cheap. This place is good to save a buck and have access to the beach and boardwalk. You get what you pay for though. Room was gross, building is falling apart. Would I stay again?...yes. Why? Cheap. Go in knowing it's just a place to sleep and you'll be fine. expect nothing else.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were great which is why we would go back…. BUT one mattress was flat (no biggie I threw the kids on that one) but the first time my son used the toilet it started over flowing (he didn’t use any toilet paper so this most def wasn’t caused by us) unfortunately this was at 5am so there wasn’t much I can do but throw the towels down to clean it and go back to bed. We were only here one night so I wasn’t going to make a fuss. Only other issue was that there was long black strands of hair everywhere. Other than that… this was one of the cleaner motels. Also.. if you book call beforehand bc they let us park the car at the motel for the day before check in so we didn’t have to pay for parking

Not like pictured on Expedia webite. Bathrooms are not new as pictured on Expedia! Filthy room. Dangerous steps made of plank wood. I couldn't sleep after I felt something crawling on me, it was a centipede. The bed was hard as a rock. The room is worth $30 night stay not $100! Also, I use a cane but was given a 3rd floor room.

I have many pictures of the rooms. They were dirty, had bare electrical wires on the heaters, air conditioner filters were nasty (we cleaned them), managers/owners were rude, no ice machine on-site. I could go on but there isn't enough time. I have pictures of the actual rooms, they look nothing like the pictures on the website!!!!

Treat Yourself Not Your Wallet

Just needed a place to sleep over night. Went the cheap route. Condition of the motel was terrible. Entry door trouble to open and close due to deterioration. Air Conditioner accessible if you are 8 ft tall and 3 inches wide as you squeezed your way to get to it. Luckily your phone camera helped to see what you needed to do. On and off every 5 minutes all night long. TV stopped working after an hour and had to unplug to shut it off since the remote wouldn't do it. The adjoining room had a young family in it with a little girl who likes to scream which continued to 9pm and started up again at 6am. The bed was a nightmare. The pillows were as flat as can be. I couldn't find the sheets so I sleep with just the bedspread. Found sheets were all tucked in on four sides.I felt like a slept on rows of metal springs without padding. I had major trouble getting up from lying down. Every bone, muscle and nerve hurt from my neck to my feet. Don't do what I did. Even for one night treat yourself so you get sleep and can feel clean when you leave.

Disliked: Amenities
First of all their parking lot was way too small to be able to fit that amount of vehicles in the small spaces available. Some bigger vehicles take up two spaces. When we got to the room, our TV didn't work, the receptacles below the TV didn't work and neither did the little lamps aside of the TV. When I advised the manager at checkout that this stuff wasn't working, he just looked at me instead of offering a refund of some kind.
