Stayed here for a week and overall it was decent for the price. Contactless check in and check out but had no issues doing it. When we needed fresh towels they have you put it in a bag outside and it gets replaced in the morning. Rooms were decently clean but you can tell a lot of renovations were kind of a "handyman special" sort of thing. The fridge and A/C got super cold so that was nice, ceiling fan was a bonus. Roku TV with all your app options and the Wi-Fi worked great. Worst part was probably the shower, it is very very tiny and the heat fluctuates like crazy, not enjoyable to shower at all. Overall if you're looking for close access to the beach this is a solid no frills option.

Perfect location for half of the price of the big hotels on the boardwalk. Clean and cute!

Cool retro Motel with No Frills, but good price and value. Perfect for a couple that wants to just hit the beach and hang out close to all the fun bars, restaurants and the boardwalk. Rooms are small with a king size bed and bathroom, but everything was clean and neat and that’s all we needed for going to the beach and sleeping after partying at the boardwalk! No Office, no pool, no spa, just a nice clean little room a block from the beach! 😎 Totally worth it! Would definitely come back again.

Not that it mattered, I was solo. But in my 4 day stay my room was never serviced. Really nice quaint room. Super tiny bathroom but not unexpected for this co kind of hotel. I would definitely stay again.
