Good location, friendly people, and...

Liked: Friendly staff, nice pool, and they accept dogs.
Disliked: The room was very squishy. Shower head was annoying bc it had low water pressure. Could have used an ac unit in bedroom also.

It was very clean and...

Disliked: Like to use the Murphy bed.But the couch was sort of in the way and I couldn't understand how to use it..... I read the directions on this side, but it was a little tricky.It would have been better if the couch was not in the room!

Good

Liked: We checked in and had ants in our room. They gave us a way better room and accommodate us. I was putting my son wheelchair in my car and employee came out and asked if I needed any help. They were great

Overall it was nice

Liked: The motel was in a nice location, close to the boardwalk. Bed was very firm and shower was hot. The room was clean and had all the essentials. Fridge, stovetop, microwave, coffee pot (coffee),toaster, silverware hairdryer.
Disliked: We arrived early 10am, and while I expected the room to NOT be ready I did not expect the lack of friendliness from the front desk. No eye contact, no smile or friendly greeting. It was obvious she was disgusted I was there. She also said we couldn’t park in the lot until noon even though there were several empty spots. We parked blocks away for $10. Not getting in early or parking in their lot would have been ok if she was just “nice”. Even if she faked it, it would have been nice. I also didn’t like that the shower was so small you can barely reach everything to wash! The tv is in the small sitting area and not in front of the bed.

Nice stay and will stay...

Liked: The location is great, just a short 2 blocks from the boardwalk. The pool is heated but very refreshing and clean. Staff is very friendly. Had a studio and it served it's purpose for a beach stay.
Disliked: The only small complaint I have is that housekeeping never swept or vacuumed the linoleum floor in 4 days. Sand from the beach collects.

Great location and staff- highly...

Liked: Jean was at the front desk our first evening, and she was phenomenal. She answered our questions and helped me with a room selection I already booked for a future stay. We really enjoyed talking with her! The Sunday afternoon person was super helplful too.Also, the room was cleaned daily, which is a nice plus when you're bringing in sand from the beach each day.
Disliked: The wifi was a little slow.

Great price and location for...

Liked: We stayed in room 9, which was very clean and obviously updated. The kitchenette had a full-sized fridge, which is always a plus! There were several amenities such as napkins, flatware, q tips, room spray, etc that were nice touches. Nice location a block away from the Boardwalk. Also, the staff was very friendly at check in and checkout!
Disliked: Overall, we really liked the property, but there were a few drawback observed: . First, here were no coverlets or blankets on the bed or for the pull out sofa, just basically throw blankets that were far too small.. In addition, to make room to use the pull out sofa, multiple pieces of furniture had to be moved due to size of room.
