The location was great! The customer service was great! I was disappointed that I reserved 2 queen beds and a full size bed; 3 beds in total. When I got to the room, they were all full sizes. I was too tired to complain.

The hotel guests literally smoke in front of your door and window and the staff is oblivious to this issue! The AC unit is so laid when working, it literally give you migraine headaches! The water pressure is very bad! All this and more and they charge pretty good amount! Except the location of this place which is literally at the Beach Boardwalk; everything is 1 or 2 star!

The location was great! The pictures look way nicer than in person. It’s definitely motel rooms. They say there is coffee between 8am and 10am but you get coffee packets to take to your room. This is very budget inn and especially for the price of the rooms.
