The hotel is dated, but was fantastic for what we needed. Quick walk to the beach. They allowed us to park before and after checkout to go to the beach. On site pool was great. Outdoor shower and bathroom available when coming from the beach. Office lady was super friendly. This is the first place I will check the next time I come back to the area!

Very close to the beach. Swimming pool is a decent size it did come in handy with the heatwave it was to hot to go to the beach. They have loungers tables, and chairs so you can get out of the sun when you want to. They clean your room everyday no need to ask or you can put the do not disturb on your door. Plenty of parking. The beds are very comfortable. I did stay for 5 nights, and i was very comfortable. They do supply shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion. Plenty of towels, and i asked for an extra comforter. The AC works great and i have to mention this again. This is a very clean motel Why pay more somewhere else this is very affordable. I will definitely come back. Staff is very friendly. Everything is in walking distance.

The price itself is unbeatable. Super close to the beach and the pool is nice. Very close to the waterpark. 7-8 min walk to the northern end of the boardwalk. The room itself is pretty good at this price range. The AC is powerful in such hot weather.

Don’t believe what you read!

The reviews must be fake because the motel was nothing like described! I’m pretty sure my beds had bedbugs because I have bites all over my body.
