Great beach motel

As far as beach motels are concerned, this one was pretty nice. Clean, spacious, and with friendly staff. Also, ample parking. Well worth a repeat visit especially for the price!

I have been staying here the past 20 years. Very clean, staff is friendly, only half block from beach. If you are looking for a hotel to stay with your pet; Barefoot Mailman is the place to stay.

Dated accommodations, but clean and convenient

The room was a bit dated (old), more importantly it appeared clean, including the bathroom, and more spacious than expected. Being a pet-friendly hotel, the bare floors are smart; the room was equipped with a broom and dustpan to clean any messes, including sand from the beach, up quickly. The areas for pets to do their thing are also nice and large, to mingle with other guest’s pets. Access to the beach is super close and convenient; however, the City doesn’t allow dogs on the beach from May 1 to September 30; it would be nice if this information was included on the booking website.

Liked a lot: Spacious, clean rooms, walk to the beach and restaurants, friendly staff, sufficient parking. Liked less: dogs of some guests barking non-stop. Property is a somewhat outdated.

Pet Friendly

Decent for a quick weekend trip with the dogs. Room and bathroom were clean. No smells or stains which is nice for a pet friendly hotel. Room could use some updates, including the mattress. There is a dedicated area for pets by the pool. All in all, I would stay here again.

We came down for the Boardwalk Rock 2 day concert, and it was awesome to stay at your hotel. The staff was very polite and the hotel was located far from the action, but extremely close to the beach. Transportion to the boardwalk was easy on the public bus. The whole facility was clean and it’s fantastic. That pets were allowed. We will remember that next time.
