Average Joe

The service wes very good. The hotel itself wes very dated, & not very clean. Also, there was no hot water in the sink, & the bathroom mirror was just propped on the back of the sink.

Great for the price!

We stayed for three nights and loved it. Directly on the boardwalk/beach. Free parking. We could walk everywhere. Beds were comfortable. Pet friendly (for a fee). If you aren’t super picky, this is a great spot. It has everything you need for a beach hotel. Room was large and had all the basics. The manager was super friendly and made it easy for us. We will definitely be back!

We stayed in a room with three beds, a small fridge, and a microwave from July 4-6, 2025. The twin bed was uncomfortable and needed replacement, while the other was clean. The motel’s location on the boardwalk and friendly staff were great. However, we arrived near noon and had to wait until 3 pm to check in. The private parking lot was convenient, but other cars were parked behind ours. The rooms were small and needed painting. The high price for the quality of the room made us decide not to stay again.

They advertise having free parking, but it is for small vehicles only and a limited space to park. This place only has 14 rooms and only 8 spaces for parking. You have to pay for parking on street so they let you use one of their parking passes with a $300 holding fee. I reserved a family suite that says sleeps 7. We arrived way earlier than check in and when asked if we could check in early the man says that our suite wasn’t available yet but we could upgrade to an apartment suite for an extra fee. I paid the extra fee for the upgrade, the apartment is the same as the family suite just has a kitchen sink, stove and small fridge. You are in two small rooms with three full size beds. You will comfortably sleep 6 not 7 unless someone is sleeping on the floor. The air conditioner is only in one room so if you close the door the other room doesn’t have air. They also advise ocean view it is if you look at it sideways from the 2nd floor walkway to your room. The room only has a shower which would have been ok but the shower floor was dirty painted over had to wear slides to shower with NO hot water at all.

Only in an emergency …

The door to my room wouldn’t lock so I had to put chair behind the door while I slept. It took along time for the shower to get warm. The mattresses, bed sheets, pillows should have been replaced in the 90’s

Beds were too small, mattress was terrible, not firm at all. No heating except space heaters which stopped working after 2 hours. No towels, had to pick them up myself after two complaints. Very tiny bathroom. Worst motel experience I ever had. Only the location was great.

Upon arrival we walked into the room and there was garbage and a sock in front of the room. Once i walked in the room there was sand and a dorito on the floor. The smoke alarms were gone the phone did not work. The water pressure was terrible and the water was COLD. The convenience was being on the board walk.

The room was absolutely not what i expected. Way out dated. Barely a locking door. Bed in the kitchen. No balcony and not superior. For $366 one night and $256 the other, i was severely ripped off. Not even enough towels and when we asked for more, the guy gave me one wash cloth. Not a sinlge dish or silverware so what good is the kitchen. Coffee pot with no coffee. This place just plain sucked

Zoltar was our neighbor!!

We loved how close to the beach it was. Perfect location, our balocony/walkway literally connected to the Boardwalk. We were expecting a room with 2 beds and ended up with 2 rooms with 3 beds. We had a dresser, tv, microwave, small fridge and of course an air conditioner. No chairs but we were at the shore so we brought chairs for the beach so we used them, lol! It worked. I'm sure you could see the beach and ocean from the 2nd or 3rd floor balcony/walkway. Next time we might try to request an upstairs room but really no complaints. The parking was a little far (but free) and you got a nice walk, so it balanced out. A great trip altogether, wished we had more time to stay a day or 2 longer.

My dog died the day after my reservation was made, and although it was non refundable, they refused to refund any part of the pre-paid amount. It is just bad business and honestly one night - one night was all that would have been lost to them. I’m sad to see that in a pet friendly establishment, the actual death of the pet wouldn’t even create an exception. Shameful. Truly.

We chose this location because it was attached to the boardwalk and it had pretty good reviews but the room we were given was not ideal. It was very hot, there was only a small window AC unit that was not on when we got there and took hours to semi cool down the rooms, the floor was dirty, I assume it was sand. The door handle to our room was busted, it took a good hour to get it somewhat fixed to even be able to get into the room and to lock the door from the inside, we had to jam our finger into the lock unit in hopes it actually locked. I didnt expect anything great but I did expect better than the accommodations we had. We were in room 14A, we are staying here again in a week, I am hoping we get a different room and have a better experience.

I had nothing but extreme inconveniences at that places! Please don’t book here it’s a waste of money!! I wish I can explain in detail everything but not enough space to type out everything word by word. But for now here’s my main issues 1. No on site parking- it’s two or three blocks away in a small tight parking lot 2. Broken bed upon arrival and I was being told I had to pay extra for a room change or they could fix it in an 1hr or two took them 3 hour to switch out the bed frame cutting in to my time to explore jersey shore 3. No hot water in the shower- the staff pretended to shut boiler off and trouble shoot the problem but nothing was resolved I still didn’t have hot water in the shower and they didn’t seem concerned. Instead they refuse to refund me or change my room unless I paid extra for an upgrade bc “ they were fully booked” I had to shower with cool water since water wasn’t warming up my entire stay. 4. Rooms are dirty and moldy and smell like urine-not sure if it’s bc a lot of guest had pets and probably pets are peeing inside. 5. Door wouldn’t lock properly had to reinforce it with a chair against the lock. 6. Only one set of small stairs to the upstairs rooms which were located at one of the corners. Only one person at a time could go up or down if two people it super tight. Please people save your money and don’t stay here or the motel across its own/ run by the same staff.

We assumed we paid in full through Expedia but the manager charged us for an extra person. He was rude and this place was disgusting. I have used Expedia for many of my travel and was never charged extra when I arrived at the hotel. I expect to receive a refund.
