Great location. Owners clearly worked hard. Mattresses could be updated and no forks or pots or pans etc anything in the kitchen to use. Safe location. Room was clean.

Our room was newly renovated which made the stay bearable. Apparently so newly renovated they didn’t have time to even hang a mirror. However, the pillows & mattresses were old & so uncomfortable & we were only give bath towels (no washcloths or even hand towel) which were also pretty worn & stained.

The room had a full kitchen and no silverware, dishes or pots. The staff was rude over the phone. The room was dingy and looked like needed a lot of work, nothing there no hair dryer, no extra sheets for futon. Beds small and hard. People can smoke at pool so that’s all you could smell. No WiFi password given, the pool was nice and the only positive I would say except for people smoking right there.

Extremely disappointed I went to the front desk to tell him how I felt about the room and how it was showed on Expedia compared to how it looked in reality and the fact that the room didn’t come with any blankets still had sand all over the room so many under age kids drinking and doing drugs the gm of the motel was so disrespectful and dismissive didn’t wanna work with us or even try to comfort us to make us feel better about it so to avoid any type of argument I told my girlfriend it’s ok let’s just leave they honestly don’t care we’ll just never come back here

This hotel is in a great location to the boardwalk and to the beach. It was close enough to get around but far enough away that we couldn’t hear loud partiers on the boardwalk. If you are into a place for its location and don’t mind packing a few extra items to make it a pleasant stay (comforter, wash cloths, toiletries), it’ll work for you!

Truly gross and offensive
Cigarettes everywhere -- it's like a homeless shelter for families. Go elsewhere.

Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.

Overpriced
The hotel is old and outdated, but it was at least clean and the manager let me check in several hours early which was much appreciated after a long drive. That being said it is way too expensive for what it is, and it's only real saving grace is it's location relative to the water and boardwalk.

The motel definitely updated their rooms from the bathroom to the bedrooms ( due to covid they don’t provide blankets, we brought our own. Not a-lot of available parking but broad walk is literally 2 blocks away .

Location was great and staff was friendly. However the room should of been in better condition for the money we spent. Broken lamp shade, floor tiles ,stained ceiling tiles,broken blinds . No stopper in bathroom sink. Bed was terrible to sleep on. Outdated furniture and kitchen sink was all chipped up.

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.
