The lobby was a mess, the staff was indifferent and the beds needed to be replaced years ago. Not worth the money for even one night.

RUN…… DONT book this hotel
The room was disgusting. Dead bugs on the ceiling in several places. The beds had 1 sheet and a thin blanket. The air conditioner was full of mold. Overall the room was gross and wayyyyyyy over priced. We had to listen to the people in the next room all night. We left after one night and checked out as we could not bear to stay another night.

The one bed hadn’t been changed. There was someone else’s hair and an old blood stain on the sheet. It was found when we went to go to bed like 10pm. They gave us new sheets and just said sorry. When we asked what they we’re going to do about it, the manager said nothing we said sorry. The second night kids were running on top of us til 1am and we’re back at it at 6am. Nothing done about that either.

It is close to a beach entrance, however, badges are not included in room price and cost $15 each person, per day. Rooms are clean, but nobody cleans room each day. I had to bring my dirty towels to the office and ask for clean ones. The place has a For Sale sign so minimal updating will be done.

Basic motel. No dining facilities and very few dining options around the area. The public beach is right in front of the property. But in order to be in a safe zone to swim, you should go to the boardwalk area - 15 mins walk.
