I would love to give this motel a great review based on how nice the staff was. Unfortunately the property was filthy. The floors and floorboards looked like the inside of a gas station bathroom. Dirty shower, hair and mystery substance on the wall. I immediately went to the office and complained. They did have the cleaning service come back and clean however there was still visible dirt and grime. I think the room was so far gone it really needed like a professional deep cleaning company to come in. The location is great! Right accross from the boardwalk. Other than that I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it was far as how dirty it was.

Disappointment

I didn’t love the dog friendly property because dogs were barking all night. Also the room next to us appeared to be living in the hotel room which is not the kind of property I stay at. Refrigerator froze our drinks, sink was scalding hot water and the shower was Luke warm. Won’t come back.
