The staff was very perfessional and very nice and helpful! The room had a board off the wall and it was just laying in the closet. The kitchen closet when we opened it someone had just swept crumbs and trash in there and left it. One bedroom had a needle syringe cap in the closet. Gross. Outside when we were walking to the beach we seen a needle on the ground. Very nasty and sick when u have kids. The pool was nice and the staff was awesome but the room was not the cleanest. Maids need to clean up alittle better in my opinion and make sure theyre is nothing that kids shouldnt see in the rooms or property. The office area looked really clean. Our room had NO bugs. Air conditioning worked very well and was only a couple min walk to the beach and the gas station. I enjoyed it for the most part.

Roach Motel

It was a non smoking room that smelled like an ash tray. I complained to front desk. My daughter is asthmatic and she couldn't breath in the room. There were people drinking and playing loud music in the parking lot. We ssked for a different room but were told there were none. So they offered to reimburse us but never got my money back.

It was a good location not on the board walk but all you have to do is walk across the street and you’re there don’t have to drive or find parking because you’re basically on the strip the on the other hand the stairwells smelled of pee and where dirty seen a couple of roaches the first night but nothing else afterwards have a small kitchenette just a stovetop and you have to bring your own cooking ware and have a mini fridge so you can’t store much in there overall it wasn’t all that bad except there’s no WiFi so if you need it you won’t get it there the manager was nice and accommodated and made arrangements for me to make me feel better they do have good service and the room service guy was nice I knew what time to expect him every morning asking if I needed anything

Drug Dealing Capital of the City

Stairs real of urine. Parking lot might as well have a sign advertising it is the drug capital of the city. Cops were called to the parking lot during our stay from excessive screaming I assume. Hair on bed upon arrival. Paid extra for a non smoking room, we all head head aches the first night because it was clearly a smoking room (with ash tray). Bed was hard, pillows hurt, foods looked like they had multiple break in attempts. One positive: All staff were incredibly friendly. I wish I was able to get a refund. It was expensive for the quality of the room and location.

I was extremely happy with the 2 nights I stayed here. It is a little out of date, but for the price, friendliness & helpfulness of the staff, and the fact that it is literally 2 blocks to the boardwalk & beach, you just can't beat it. If I ever go again, I won't even look at any other motels because I was perfectly happy with this one!

Great Anniversary

This Inn is greatly priced compared to others in the area. Only had one issue, which was taken care of immediately. Have stayed here multiple times now. Will be back again as well. Only suggestion would be better mattresses. All the staff is wonderful (the owner, the maintenance man, cleaning staff and office staff)! Staff even gives great recommendations.
