Deceiving

Pictures are deceiving. It looks like you'll be right on the boardwalk, but you're actually across Baltimore Ave. Not so bad unless you have a toddler like we did, you have to cross a busy road to get to the beach or boardwalk. The carpet was apparently shampooed right before we got there, but it stayed damp the entire weekend we were there. Also, there's no elevator, so you have to carry everything up to your room. It wasn't terrible, but we probably won't stay there again. If you don't have little ones it might be okay.

Handicap parking was one space only-for several buildings, if you stay, keep valuables off property, no security or safes are available.Staff will enter rooms without your consent or knowledge. Many of cleaning staff couldn't speak or understand english. Overall, front desk attendants are honest, professional, and well informed about area attractions and best places to visit. Beachfront rooms are nice location at boardwalk.
Only handicap space on block.

⸻ The location near the boardwalk was the main reason we chose this place. This was my first time staying here, and at first, I thought the building would be right on the beach because the website made it seem that way. But in reality, it’s actually one block away. That said, the room I stayed in had a partial ocean view through the gap between buildings, which was a pleasant surprise and made up for it. There are two pool areas, one on each side, which was very convenient for guests — a big plus. Considering the location and the price during this time of year, I think it was fair and reasonable. It’s a price point that feels accessible. The bedding in the room could use an update. The pillows were soft, but they had lost their shape and didn’t provide much support. I always bring my own pillow when I travel – it just makes sleeping so much more comfortable.

Good for stay

It’s ok for stay during the summer. Price is friendly compared to other near boardwalks. Another good thing is near by Starbucks and CVS.

This property has 3 buildings, only one is on the boardwalk. There are no bathrooms for guests to use from the pool or beach. The building I was in is old . There are no modern things such as Wi-Fi or places to plug in devices unless you bring your own cord with the plug in part. They say there is Wi-Fi but we could not access it at all- the front desk said it must be a town issue( but we could see the WI-FI names of other hotels around us?. )It covers the basics, bed(s), bathroom, small fridge and a microwave. There are no elevators and not really handicapped accessible.

For the most part the staff was friendly. The motel is very dated, with that being said it was very clean. For example, even though there was carpet in the room, the room still smelled good upon entering. The bathroom was a little small but still clean. The pools were well maintained and clean as well. The best part was the location was perfect.
