Like location and customer service. Interior of room is new. I did not like there is homeless people living in their car at the parking lot. i saw two cars doing this.
Had an amazing weekend at this hotel staff was excellent room was awesome and it was a decent walking distance to the boardwalk and the price wasn't that bad

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Nice staff. Clean room if a bit spartan. TV channel selection is good. Walk to beach/boardwalk is not too far but you have to cross a busy roadway and then walk along it for a block or so before turning toward the beach.
The place seemed a little sandy when we arrived but perhaps that's inevitable. Cleaners did not replenish the coffee, coffee was pretty bad. (Go to one of the many nice breakfast spots nearby.) But otherwise we had a nice stay here. It's not on the ocean but the walk to boardwalk isn't far. With a car you are close to several other calmer beaches, lots of hiking trails, and downtown. It's at a busy intersection with traffic on two sides, but did quiet down at night. King bed was great. Good service, attentive. Pleasant stay for the price.
Lovely view of the boardwalk and ocean even though there was a road between the motel and the ocean. Balcony was great and interior decor was well done.
I stayed in the room that had one king size bed with my two little boys and it got us perfectly. The shower had two different heads which was nice. The balcony patio was an awesome feature. My only complaint is that even though it was a non-smoking room, it still smelled like smoke.

The young man on the front desk cause you’re super nice. Enjoy the conversation with him
Adequate for overnight stay, close to boardwalk
No view
Low score due to very high pricing and noise level of other guests. Thin walls, no security on sight
Very expensive though $200-$300 per night and not even a bar of soap
Fridge, coffee maker and small microwave in room
Airco worked great
Noisy and heavy footed guests all night until 2am
People shooting of fireworks around 12am
Hard to sleep before 2am
