Ok for one night but needs improvements
Sofas dingy.. felt itchy when we sat on them . Maybe consider cleaning and putting plastic on them … bed felt like a cardboard box.. bathroom paint looked like asbestos .. no shelf at all on shower for any items …black mold in corner of bedroom

6/10 Good

The bed sheets were clean and crispy white however the motel is outdated and the shower is so tiny.The parking spaces are also very tight and uncomfortable. I would stay here again if it was the only option but definitely not my first pick.

Fun
Had a great time. The boards were in walking distance. The pool was nice. No pressure to check out.

2/10 Poor

Very outdated, sink and toilet should have been replaced in bathroom years ago. Shower very tiny, good thing we are all slender to regular sized people. I don’t remember ever sleeping on such bad mattresses. Even my son in his 20’s asked what was up with the beds, horrible! Good location for shopping and beach. Pool nice but very small. Parking worked out fine. We were told by a regular on the property not to move our car or we would have to park in the overflow lot a few blocks down. Luckily we were okay.

4/10 Fair

The staff was very nice and friendly but other than that, you get what you pay for. The room was tiny-shower stall even smaller. I had reserved a pet friendly room which they didn’t realize at check in and then charged $150 for two nights. Door mats outside are nearly all ripped in half. Not sure why they don’t throw them out…the place is what it is: a cheap shore motel.

Would stay again!
Easy checkin, nice kitchen area, fold down table with 4 chairs, couch with pullout bed, AC, ceiling fans, nice bathroom, on site parking, pool, ceiling fans, tv in each room, clean! Wish I had more time to enjoy the accommodations! Close to the beach boardwalk!

Worked well for 2 night stay, would have worked far an even longer stay due to the kitchen facilities. Just wosh the shower had been larger. I'm not a big person and the shower was tight

it was a cozy little spot, but the shower was too boxed in and the couch bed smell like cigarettes smoke other than "OK"

Room was perfect for our family. Location was close to the boardwalk but still quiet and felt safe. Staff wasn’t the friendliest and the WiFi didn’t work in the bedroom but overall we had a positive experience and would stay again.
