We love the feel of the place. It's got the feel of the beach I remember from when I was a kid. It really feels like the beach! The big corporate motels all feel the same, and they lack the personality and charm. That said, the door adjoining our room (105) with the adjacent room (106 I think) was paper thin and offered no sound buffer. The people in the next room weren't being loud, but it was as if they were carrying on their conversation in our room well into the night, making it impossible for us to get to sleep. When we checked out early this morning, we were worried that we would wake or disturb them. But aside from that, our stay was great! Thank you for an excellent weekend!

Not comfortable

The best thing about this place is it's walkable from the beach and that's it. There was no hot water. The A/C was set at 70 and won't go up, and it turns off every once in a while. It was very cold in the bathroom because of lack of heating.

Close to the boardwalk.

Nice little motel just a block from the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Complete with parking and close to just about everything. Before we went there we read up about the wonderful hospitality of Greta and were certainly not disappointed. All in all a pleasant place to stay.

October beach trip

The 40’s motel is holding up well with owners loving touches. The shower was upgraded with a stone style tile. Room had everything one would expect. Location good is great for families, a block from beach & boardwalk.

MOLD! NO PRIVACY!! No hot water to kitchen sink, couch leg broken, mold all over bathroom ceiling, no sink or mirror in bathroom. Sink in bedroom - the water wouldn’t drain. Hear every word of neighbors from an inside thin door and we could see their shadows walking by from inside our room from 1/2” gap to floor. TV was glued to table so couldn’t turn for different viewing angle. Outside lights lit up the room better than the actual lights inside. Pull out beds very uncomfortable.
