Better housekeeping services. We had no one check in on us to see if we needed more towels or wash cloths and we took out our own trash. Front desk staff was friendly.

Dirty!! Horrible!! Gross!! People in pool right outside of our room until 2am. The room was dirty with black permanent marker drawn on it from a child. The bathroom shower was so dirty we had to wear shoes in it! Mismatched unsecured tiles that moved when you walked into the bathroom. If you are more than 175lbs you can’t even fit around the sink to sit on the toilet! I have stayed in older beach motels previously and nothing has ever been as bad as this. From 9pm until 4am the noise was so loud from people sitting out in front of their rooms drinking and carrying on. Oh and to top it off the tvs and WiFi do not work there. Even after complaining to the office nothing was done to correct it. Also the pull out couch for an extra bed smelled like old rotten bear and had throw up stains insideI would never, EVER, recommend this place to anyone!!!!!!!

The room was clean and worked well for a family having a refrigerator, stove and microwave oven. The location was great and easy to get to the Boardwalk and Beach! The only thing that was a bummer was the refrigerator was not working when we arrived. But, they replaced it quickly with one that was working well.
