Disgusting Motel

The woman that checked us in was rude and snippy. We asked for the beach passes and I had to surrender my drivers license. Now I had no ID if I wanted to go to the beach / boardwalk. When we got to our room we really wanted to walk out and ask for a refund. The couch was stained so badly that we asked for a sheet to cover it. The bathroom caulking / grout was filthy. There were long black hairs ( not ours) stuck to the tile on the shower. Clesrly not wiped down from prior guest. Box spring was dirty and ripped. Toilet wouldnt flush and had to be fixed. We rented an efficiency and there were no pans or utensils had we wanted to actually use the stove. The bottom of the sink cabinet was cracked and broken. There was no closet. The floor was dirty and we had to wear flip flops. Housekeeping never came by and we had to keep asking for towels. The most disgusting motel either of us have ever stayed at. We had driven 2-1/2 hrs and there was no other local vacancies. I hope people take this review seriously and avoid booking this dive.
Filthy caulking between shower base and wall.
Hair on shower tile from previous guest

We arrived Friday Aug 15th when checking in the lady at the front desk was amazing so nice and funny loved her! Even tho the place can use some updates, was very clean and smelled nice bed somewhat comfortable the pillow did suck and the bathroom was very small we asked for more towels and got them right away. Also asked for another blanket and got that right away fresh and clean the man at the front desk was also VERY nice! Also very close to the boardwalk like feet away!! We had an amazing stay and will be back again for another!

Great staff and pool

It was nicer then i thought it was going to be for the price. The pool was great. Staff was very friendly. But the bathroom had a bad smell the first night. I ran some water down the shower drain. It helped. Other then that it was nice. Closes to the beach and we could see the boardwalk from our door.
