It appeared clean at first, but everything is old and worn, and then I noticed the bedside table had clearly not been cleaned. It felt very sketchy in the area and around the hotel. Locals I spoke to could not believe I was staying there. Avoid.

Not much to like.!!! No cable TV, Wifi has a poor connection, some staff I heard talking about their customers. Very dull place to stay. I really wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. Needs to have cable tv and less chatter about their customers, why Expedia would recommend this hotel for anyone’s stay is beyond me.

Looks like a rundown apartment. Not in a good location and wiring is visible and doesn’t look safe. It smells musty the tv doesn’t work, bathroom is smaller than a portable toilet deck and rooftop is very dirty and not maintained. The parking space can hold maybe 4 cars. But it was cheap

the place was in the middle of renovation so construction dirt and noise depending on which part of the building staff seems hard working but not professional very shady characters staying in the property we got one small used soap bar and had to ask for another one internet signal is week, not coffee machine or kettle to make tea, but there is a small fridge and microwave shower is decent and water pressure is good beds were comfortable and clean area is close to boardwalk (25 min walk) with few delis/cafe's and bars I would only recommend if you are travelling and trying to keep accommodation costs to a minimum and are not planning on spending anytime in hte motel except to sleep (not table/chairs/etc in the room and I got the premium room) for additional $25/night you can get much nicer places

The staff were extremely nice. The property however is poorly kept and the inside disjointed. Wires and cables running outside of walls , old dark hallways. No cable television available. My room was very clean and sheets were clean. It does need a major bathroom upgrade and improvement to finishes. 1 ply toilet paper and ketchup packets of shampoo that are impossible to open with wet hands is really not necessary to skimp on.

We were put in a room that was not up to fire code. The curtains were pulled closed and when we opened them we were looking into the inside framing of a separate new under construction building. The “hotel” in general was just kind of terrifying. Parking was really bad and the hotel changed an additional $20 per night for that.

Not bad!
Based on the previous reviews, I was a little afraid, but it was better than anticipated. The building is old and the Inn is definitely odd, but the room was clean and everything was basic but fine. The people at the desk were efficient and friendly. There are only a few parking spots and you do have to pay $20 for a parking spot. There is no wifi and no TV, also.

Do not stay here unless you absolutely need to. It's priced like a hotel but it's really a motel: no services, no elevator, no parking, no extra linens, nothing. The room was dirty and the comforter was black, had burn holes, and was extremely old. The pillows were tiny and thin. We were 2 adults but could only get a single key. The people running this should be ashamed and at worst, this is a money laundering front. Don't stay here.
