Hello? Is anybody home?
The office was closed when we got there. I did get an email prior to arrival telling room number and such. It was called "contactless check in". Nobody was there the entire time we were there. The building is rundown, carpet on floor was stained, the room was clean but old and worn. Clock on wall did not work. 1 regular and 1 decaf coffee pod in the room. Webpage claimed the Motel was 1 min walk to the boardwalk. It was more like 3-4 blocks away. Stayed on second floor, no elevator. Lighting in the room was low due to poor lamps. Did it once, wont do it again.

Liked nothing. It was a very small bedroom with droopy bed. Bathroom had tissue holder and towel holder broken. TV was in front of smelly sofa. No way of hanging clothes. Staff member tried to help us by providing clothes drying rack. We couldn’t sleep whole night and left next morning. Horrible experience.

Cost too much for what you get!
Well. I don’t usually write reviews but I thought I’d better write one for this Motel. First of all it was clean and in a convenient location. It was a kitchenette without anything to cook with. Not even cups or silverware. No windows whatsoever. No balcony like the description said. There wasn’t a blanket on the bed at all. Luckily I brought a comforter and pillows. We had to use the trash can as a nightstand. We made the best of it. But I would definitely not stay there for more than two nights.
