I would have given 5 stars if we didn’t have to run the shower for 15min to get hot water. Hopefully they fix that it seems like a huge waste of water.

The motel is a convenient walk to the beach and downtown, with clean, comfortable rooms. Many food options are nearby. Wifi was unreliable and very slow, the tv had no streaming support and many channels were disabled, and the room air conditioner was too noisy to leave on while sleeping. Noise from the adjacent road was noticeable during the day but was not a problem at night.

Great location. The room I had was in the back corner, which was great because it was quiet. The bathroom was really small, but the shower was amazing. For the price, you can't beat it. It was my 2nd time staying and I'll definitely be back again! Nice proximity to the wharf and boardwalk!

Any room that has carpet has mold in the room. I had one of worst asthma attacks in my life. The carpet felt damp when barefoot. Toilet paper in bathroom felt damp from moisture in room. There is moisture that accumulates on window to which reflects a deeper problem. My husband is a building inspector and he wanted to red tag the hotel for unsafe and unhealthy conditions. Did not stay. Staff tried to accommodate our needs but every room we tried was impacted. Staff was kind enough to refund our money.
