    Here’s what worked – and what didn’t

    Great location with friendly staff! The motel is close to a 7/11, restaurants, and the beach. Perfect for budget travelers needing basic accommodations.

    However, the cleanliness left much to be desired, with stained mattresses and poor shower quality. Noise from neighboring rooms made it hard to sleep.

    100% recommend for a weekend rest

    Clean room, friendly staff, comfortable bed, with great features like free parking and 24-hour reception making our stay smooth. It was ideally located just a short drive from the airport for easy access.

    Nothing that I didn't like.

    I enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and had air conditioning. Staff were friendly and checked me in quickly. It's a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Free parking was a plus. 🏖️

    great location

    This place is perfect for big families! It's close to the boardwalk, with 7-Eleven and Little Caesars just nearby. The extra pillows we needed were quickly provided, and the room was clean and comfortable. The couch that pulls out into a bed was a bonus for our kids!

    The motel was decent for a quick family trip, with clean rooms and a welcoming staff who really catered to our needs. While we noticed some noise from other guests and the ice machine situation was inconvenient, we were pleased with our stay overall. Great value for the price.

    friendly atmosphere
    odd check-in process

    My friends and I had an awesome time here! We spent our days kayaking nearby and boogie boarding, which was a blast. The location was convenient and close to everything we wanted to do. There’s nothing like hanging out with friends and soaking up the sun during a beach getaway!

    However, I felt a bit uneasy when I checked in because I noticed the staff seemed off. They asked for my credit card before any other questions, which raised some red flags for me. Just a heads up to future guests!

    This place suits me perfectly with free parking, 24-hour reception, and air conditioning. The staff once gave me the best local taxi tip, which I still remember. I recommend staying here. I’m coming back for Easter!

    Surprise at the check-in

    The staff at the front were welcoming, and their cheerful vibes set a positive tone for our stay. The location was also a convenient base for our adventures.

    However, the room was a complete letdown with stains everywhere, a broken fridge, and a constant noise from the street that kept us up at night. Not what we expected!

    For anyone thinking about this

    If you need a clean, low-budget place for a quick stay, this spot delivers decent service and a comfy bed. The friendly staff are accommodating, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Just be aware, the overall experience is basic, and the environment can attract some unique characters. Perfect for a short stopover, not a luxurious getaway.
