Old motel superficially redone with no electricity to one side of the room. Too expensive for poor quality.

I LOVED my stay. The family suite was even better than the pictures. What a gem of a place. The staff (Kamur and Chuck especially) were kind and helpful. They both went out of their way for me. I can’t say enough about this place or the staff… i was so sad to leave!

Highly Recommend!!! Amazing! From check in to check out not a single complaint!!! Super friendly staff. Gave my little guy a welcome gift upon arrival. Older building BUT super clean, updated room. Lots of pillows (which never happens). Actual water pressure! First hotel stay that I actually walked barefoot in the room, that’s how spotless the rooms were. Offered a discount to extend our stay a day, wish we could have. Board walk was right up the street. Everything was within walking distance, we never needed to move the car the entire stay. Top Notch Place!

Property was good, bathroom was also good but no coffee in the room or in the reception area for the price they charge. When we asked the manager, he said people steal so we don’t keep it. That’s not the way you treat customers. If then they should return the $400 I paid for a night and charge only half. We will not stay here again.

We’ve stayed here before and we’re super happy, but they’ve let it go. Dirty carpets in the room, smeared hand prints on the entry door, carpet frayed so bad the tacks hurt you if you step on them. The balcony area had fresh mustard tracked all through the area. I alerted the hotel and it was still there 4 days later including on the carpeted area. The best features about the hotel are the pool & the upper outside decks. The rooftop deck with fire pit was great on a chilly night. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Housekeep did a wonderful job. It just needs some TLC.
