Decent value for money and a clean place to stay.
Large sized, clean room. Five minute walk from the boardwalk, so that was nice.
Bathroom was really small

Pleasant
The rooms were clean and the bed was comfy
The hallways had an echo when anyone was in them. Kind of loud. The bathrooms were very small. There were never enough wash cloths. There was no pool just a filled space where a pool should have been.

Best bang for our buck.
The staff was phenomenal! Kept it very clean and was very kind.
The walls are pretty thin so you’re able to hear everyone around you, especially being located downstairs.

Avoid this place if possible, its a mess.
We were allowed to check in early and the man who runs it is nice enough.
The place is very low end. When we arrived a hillbilly was repairing his derelict truck in the parking lot drinking beer and listening to the music blasting out of his room on the first floor. Sadly, it seems to be a haven for derelicts and folks who are down on their luck. It would be impossible to imagine that those unfortunate souls were paying anything even remotely close to the rate we were charged online. There is a huge sand filled puddle right in the middle of the site which is what all the rooms are overlooking. It once was a pool and judging by the rust on the old, falling down, steel fencing around it, there is no plan to replace the pool site or do any landscaping......its clearly been this way for at least a year or two. Its quite shocking when you pull up and see this considering the pictures available on this web site. Its just a dirt wasteland in the middle of the buildings. If I had not prepaid, we would have left immediately. The man who runs the place clearly has very very low standards for what constitutes a hotel although he is a nice enough guy. He is simply in the wrong business, or maybe the right business but in the wrong....location? Not sure.....There are so many other nice places in the area, at least 30, that charged less and offered the bare minimum and more. Its realistically a $60-70/night room. I would be careful about any deposits requested because this place looks like the bank is about to repossess it.

Superb
Room was large. Very comfortable. Very clean.
People allowed to smoke on the property. Area where pool used to be looked very unattractive. No laundry room that was advertised.
