While property was pet friendly, what they don't tell you up front is that there is a $60 fee for the pet. Room was musty. There was a dead moth in the soap dish in the shower. The shower drain didn't work and almost flooded, although they did come fairly quickly to fix it. You get what you pay for.

Smelled musty. Broken window shade and toilet paper holder. Very outdated.

The room is not clean nor the bedding, the towels are very small and ordinary.

Old no frills hotel. Small rooms and tiny bathroom. Needs major renovations and updating. Old motel. Most of their guests are what I’d call low class ghetto types. I booked it last minute and it was a block from the beach so I figured what the hell. Two nights I paid $500 on Labor Day weekend. This place isn’t worth more than $80 a night. Even with their close location to the beach.

We checked into this property, went to the room went in the door viewed it and went and turned the keys back in. There was no way we were letting our kids sleep here. Roaches in the shower, mold around the ac unit, so small you can hardly function, cords for the tv and ac unit are unsafe for children, Bed was so old it had so many dips in it l, no real blankets just sheet with the outdated display cover, smelled of cigarettes and dog, place was just over all disgusting. The photos on Expedia are nothing like what this place actually looks like in person! Do not book this!

The service and the place was awful

Pricing I paid could have been cheaper for the room it was…. Which is what it was, just a room and a small bathroom. Good for short trips definitely not made for more than a 2 night stay. Staff was nice and worked hard daily. Rooms were kind of noisy could hear everything going on… air conditioning was great… mini fridge served it’s purpose…

Front desk was not friendly
1.0
Only positives housekeeping was friendly and check-in was easy. The negatives are never ending. Blinds on room were falling apart letting outside light in as you can’t turn out the “porch” light making it hard to sleep (they removed the switch from the receptacle). Sheets and mattress protectors were very dirty and filled with stains. Towels were extremely small. Im 5’7 and 125 but they wouldn’t wrap around me. I had to clean the bathroom myself and the sink was broken. TV gets every other channel and picture was very fuzzy. Someone had killed a huge bug and it was just left on the walls. Pool had enormous amounts of sand. Office staff always late.

You get what you pay for.
I'm not saying never stay here, just know what this is: Very small, bare, basic rooms. A bed, dresser, frig, TV w/limited channels. No microwave, chair, coffee makers, ice machine, or daily room cleaning. Weak WiFi. A few drink vending machines outside. But there's a 7-11 a few blocks away, and a few blocks from boardwalk. Checkin folks were nice. If you're just sleeping there, spending most time outside, possibly ok.

The room was small but clean. Convenient location to the beach and boardwalk. Parking was not ideal for a minivan. Spaces were tight and hard to get into. Overall would stay here again for the price & location.

I try to leave reviews that focus on the positives and will be helpful to future guests - that said, I was STUNNED by the mis-treatment of the management team at this hotel.
I booked my room, got a confirmation email, then followed up by calling the hotel to double-check that someone would be available for my late arrival (traveling from out-of-state for a last-minute 24th anniversary weekend with my wife).
We arrived at about 12:30am - no rooms available. I showed them a copy of my confirmation email - complete with itinerary#.
The initial strategy of the clerk (and his general manager) was to lie about my 'credit card being declined' - which we quickly proved to be categorically UNTRUE based on bank records.
Strategy #2 was to claim that the website we booked through never notified the hotel of the reservation. Again, this was quickly exposed by calling the booking site, and the truth came out that the hotel booked our room to someone else, without removing their available inventory from the online platform.
Strategy #3 was to call the police (while I was on the phone to the booking site) to have us REMOVED! I was speechless. (BTW, the police were GREAT!)
Fortunately, hotels.com was AMAZING - they booked us a room at a different hotel that ended up being a nice upgrade, AND they covered the difference in cost.
I would use Hotels.com again for sure.
I would never again go near this hotel or any affiliated hotels....(they own/manage the hotel next door as well).

Terrible place only thing good about it was the location furniture was falling apart holes in walls linens were stained room was dirty the office there is closed so have to check in at another hotel you have to track them down to get new towels no outside seating on the deck it was just an all around bad experience

Had to switch rooms twice. First the fridge was leakingleaving a giant puddle on the floor, and second they put us into a single room for 3 people. First front desk person also told us to park our extra car in the lot behind them, but second front desk person literally told us if we got towed it's our problem.

Room was plenty big eniugh for a queen or even king size bed. That would have been more comfortable. The AC was excellent and the wayer was piping hot. Stayed two nights and slept well.

Room stunk, the window A/C unit was extremely loud. TV had only Roku and no channels worked. The door lock was easily Pickable and there was no deadbolt. A light outside shined into the window all night long.

The room had a bad musty smell I had to go out and buy an air freshener to put it there and a few rooms down the guest there were camped out on the sidewalk with a pop up tent and chairs where you couldn’t even walk by

It was fun

We read the negative reviews but were happy with the room. It was small ,clean and everything you would expect for the money. The big value was how close it was to the beach. I’m sure other hotels charged hundreds to be that close.

No daily room service. Bed was not made or changed once in an 8 day stay. Fresh towels simply hung in a bag on the door knob outside. Would not recommend or stay here again

This stay was horrible, I walked in and found blood on the sheets and immediately called the front desk - they changed our room. Next room was more dirty then the front. Not to mention bugs. I checked in and out all within an hour. I also couldn’t find the location where you have to check in and when I called the front desk the man was very rude & told me to “google the address”. When I called to check out & mentioned there being bed bugs & visible signs of bed bugs in the room prior. He said “okay?” And then told me im only being refunded for 1 day because I already checked in. I made sure I was refunded for both , even after having to tell The general manager she should be ashamed of her self & the dirtiness of their rooms after the way she was okay with me telling her how I was spoken to by her staff . Never. Again! Always read the reviews. I learned my lesson
