No food services at all , no ice machines ; television didn’t work , Internet service was sporadic. The room didn’t have towels I had to go get them from front desk. No phone in room ; black mold on the tub. Front door to the room looks like it’s been kicked in before, pieces of wood missing from it . All in all a real slum type of Motel. Not worth half the money I had to pay!
The door knobs where falling off in the bathroom and the front door. No plug for the tub and no place in the bathroom to blow dry your hair

It was ok. The property was clean but is lacking maintenance, especially the bathroom. The walls were somehow repaired but not re-painted, there are no towel hooks or bars and shower curtain rod is rusted. The bathroom by the pool wasn’t working. On the other hand, location was good with walkable distance to beach and boardwalk and quiet.
Check in lady was super nice. Housekeeper made us take them our dirty laundry and everything. Made us feel rushed out of our room for check out even though we had an hour until check out. Room had broken ceiling tiles, beds were awful and metal pieces sticking out from beds. There was mold in the shower. Overall just an okay place to stay if you don’t plan on staying in the room all day.
Place was very rundown with exposed wood, rotten wood, nails sticking up, broken doors in both rooms, black mold in the bathrooms of both rooms. Staircases broken and in poor condition. Stovestop in kitchenette only had 2 working burners electrial cover on the walls were broken and exposed electrical wireing. There was white ducktape on the shower tub fixture and covering broken plastic. Save your money for a better quality place to stay the reviews were very good and it had a good rateing please rate the true quality of this location and save others vacation. I will say that it was also very unpleasant to hear and see them cutting lumber with powertools right next to us 2 foot away to hang shelving up for their outdoor building rather than fixing the issues with the rooms or stairs
Amazing place to stay , very quiet nobody bothered us very clean daily housekeeping not a far walk from the beach absolutely loved staying here , & we will be again !!
Check in was easy, was also able to have a late check out for $25 extra. Only 3/4 blocks from beach. Was able to accommodate my grandmother, my toddler and myself. Beds were comfy and water pressure for shower was excellent. Pool was very relaxing as well.
Will stay here again!
