great beach access location. staff were very friendly and helpful. motel was near several restaurants and great access to the city beach bus transportation.
We had a great stay! We got lucky a had a parking space every night but was aware that you might not get one if you stay on a busy weekend. But for the price and location, this place was great!
It had everything I needed for my few day stay and was close to the beaches , restaurants, activities and shops . After I checked out I was still able to park there for the day and have use of the pool .
Not a fancy place, just basic and does the job, the room was clean and had everything you need for a basic stay , mini fridge, microwave, AC and TV. I really have nothing to complain about.
Park is ample, just a short walk to the beach and they have a pool, I would definitely stay again.
The staff were very nice and pleasant pool was really nice close to the beach but you had to walk a little ways to get to the boardwalk I wish we could of found a Chinese buffet close by I would go back and stay there again

Room is pretty clean for the price the staff at the front counter is very nice air conditioning works exactly how it's supposed to. Your view is the building right behind you and the parking lot but for the price can't beat it great for a family that is on a small budget
Had a great stay this week! Room was very clean, freshly painted and not what you expect for an older motel. Air conditioning worked very well, centrally located to restaurants, jolly rogers, stores, and boardwalk. Beach is steps away from motel, and pool was crystal clear and warm. Housekeeping was spot on, and staff was accommodating, pleasant, and helpful. Definitely will be back next year! Thank you!!
This place was perfect for a quick getaway. We paid approximately $200 a night and while we did not have an ocean view, the beach was within a short walking distance. There was Keurig coffee always available at the office, the staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were immaculate. I would definitely stay here again.
Overall, I had a good experience. The property is a little outdated, but everything was clean and well maintained. The staff was very courteous, friendly, and welcoming throughout my stay. The only issue I experienced was that the toilet flushed very slowly. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and was pleased with the service.
We were lucky and got a room on the first floor which make bringing stuff in and out much easier( no elevators). Kudos to the cleaning lady who kept our room neat and clean.
The only issue was the shower. It had a very weak spray.
