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.

Disgusting Motel

The woman that checked us in was rude and snippy. We asked for the beach passes and I had to surrender my drivers license. Now I had no ID if I wanted to go to the beach / boardwalk. When we got to our room we really wanted to walk out and ask for a refund. The couch was stained so badly that we asked for a sheet to cover it. The bathroom caulking / grout was filthy. There were long black hairs ( not ours) stuck to the tile on the shower. Clesrly not wiped down from prior guest. Box spring was dirty and ripped. Toilet wouldnt flush and had to be fixed. We rented an efficiency and there were no pans or utensils had we wanted to actually use the stove. The bottom of the sink cabinet was cracked and broken. There was no closet. The floor was dirty and we had to wear flip flops. Housekeeping never came by and we had to keep asking for towels. The most disgusting motel either of us have ever stayed at. We had driven 2-1/2 hrs and there was no other local vacancies. I hope people take this review seriously and avoid booking this dive.
Filthy caulking between shower base and wall.
Hair on shower tile from previous guest

We arrived Friday Aug 15th when checking in the lady at the front desk was amazing so nice and funny loved her! Even tho the place can use some updates, was very clean and smelled nice bed somewhat comfortable the pillow did suck and the bathroom was very small we asked for more towels and got them right away. Also asked for another blanket and got that right away fresh and clean the man at the front desk was also VERY nice! Also very close to the boardwalk like feet away!! We had an amazing stay and will be back again for another!
