i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel room - especially the bathroom!! additionally the owners were dealing with a really difficult customer for a long time and they always held their composure and were kind even when the customer wasn’t granting them any understanding of the situation. also super helpful that 7-11 was right across the street!!

The rooms themselves were on the smaller side, it is very close to the boardwalk and a busy road so it is very noisy throughout the night, updated bathroom and vanity/sink area that is very nice! Overall a pretty good stay for us!

They didn’t even have a proper comfort it was just two sheets and a queen size thin knit blanket in between the two. The room had a fridge in there which did not work so all the cold foods we brought spoiled.

Staff was friendly enough. Within an hour our TV quit working. They sent a repairman, but it only lasted for about another 30 minutes. Room condition was a little rough. Other people‘s hair in the shower. No bedbugs or any other type of insects. Room didn’t smell. No coffee available on site. They did promptly return my deposit after we departed. I was happy about that.

I had to purchase some bed sheets in order to sleep on the bed. It seemed dirty. They supposedly had cleaned the room before we arrived. They left such a puddle leading into the sink area by the bathroom that we almost fell. Also the room smelled of pee so bad. We had to go buy lysol spray and that didnt help at all. Our room door didnt even close right that you can hear every sound. You must park right or youll get hit by the person parking next to you. I wouldnt recommend staying here.

6/10

Great for the price. Front desk staff are really nice and friendly. We stayed 3 nights this is more of a one night place. No coffee maker or hair dryer. Weird noise in the walls at night. Good location for the beaches and walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. Gate for the parking lot got closed on one side at night which was comforting. Although the neighborhood is ok. Some loud street noise on Saturday night but not bad the rest of our stay. Building needs maintenance.
