Had trouble finding our room and parking; the first person checking us in did not provide directions for either and we had to come back each time to ask for directions for both. The way the rooms are numbered is confusing. Rooms starting with 5 are on the second floor. Location is good and it’s convenient. Room was clean and there were enough beds etc. and we liked the outdoor showers. It could definitely stand to be updated.

You’ll have to pay more for good quality hotel.

The room smelled like mildew. The toilet took two flushes to empty. The air conditioner made a loud rattling sound after running several hours. I had to turn off the air conditioner and restart in the middle of the night. The portable refrigerator was wobbly and froze everything even when on the lowest setting. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, parking and beach passes were included and it was close to the beach and boardwalk.

Front desk staff was great and our room was ready an hour early. Room was mostly clean but quite old. Some fixtures and furniture looked dirty - like the sofa. Mold could be seen around the premises. But the stay was overall nice. Was a good place to stay in a pinch.
