Not like pictured on Expedia webite. Bathrooms are not new as pictured on Expedia! Filthy room. Dangerous steps made of plank wood. I couldn't sleep after I felt something crawling on me, it was a centipede. The bed was hard as a rock. The room is worth $30 night stay not $100! Also, I use a cane but was given a 3rd floor room.

The staff was very nice and accomidating. The room itself had a broken doorknob, broken shower head and rusty heater. Needed paint.
The parking spaces were very tiny, leaving no room to get in and out of your vehicle. Exterior of building can use a lot of work. It was clean.

It was only a couple blocks from the boardwalk which was nice but the rooms weren’t very clean, everything in the room was very old, the mini fridge was full of scratches and had stickers all over it. The toilet had stains on it from what looked like bleach and the shower had no liner on the tub so the floor would get all wet. The light was dim so it looked gloomy. There was open trash bags on the floor in the hallway so that wasn’t the best but the pool was nice and clean. It was a one night thing for me I don’t think I would return.

Do not book here! It was super disappointing to travel 4 hours for a much anticipated family vacation (that we haven’t had the chance to do in years) and see this outdated and unkept motel. We had to climb stairs that were missing the steps and had wobbly wood pieces for replacements up to our rooms that were not cleaned. The toilet was dirty, the beds were dirty, the outlets didn’t work.. the list goes on. We were shown around to other rooms to switch but NONE of them were clean either. My family chose to sleep in their car rather than this hotel… save yourself the trouble

Very close to beach and boardwalk. Sanitary and smelled okay (had a tile floor, thus, no absorbed smells of a carpet). AC excellent. Hot water good. TV was slow responding and confusing. WiFi very good. I would definitely stay again.

Do not stay here.
Pictures on website does not even remotely represent this motel. Service was fine. Motel is extremely rundown and filthy. The only plus that is one block from boardwalk.
