Great location and loved the outside shared balcony overlooking the boardwalk and ocean. Motel was pretty clean. My only negative about this place would be the Moldy/Mildew smell in the room.

Nice hotel for a little getaway

It was nice stay. The hotel was clean and the location was great. Still on the boardwalk but not down in the crowded area. We were within walking distance of plenty of restaurants. Common balcony was a nice area to sit a people watch on the balcony both day and night.

Check in and check out were very easy. The parking was a little hard to find, but there was a good deal of parking available. A little outdated but well kept and I actually liked the vintage charm.
Claire, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was extremely clean and the beds were super comfortable. Check-in was super easy and parking was convenient. Only negative is that the hotel and rooms could use aome upgrading. But overall for a hotel right on the boardwalk it was perfect for us.
