I rented a 3-bedroom apartment. I ended up getting 3 separate bedrooms - 1 with 3 beds; 1 with 2 beds & 1 with 1 bed. There were bathrooms in the separate hallway. There were other guests with smaller children down the hallways in rooms also. This is definitely not for families. Us parents didn’t quite sleep because our kids were in other rooms away from us. This is more like dorming at college than staying in an apartment.

Helpful and friendly staff. We were allowed to check in early. We went during the off season, so the price was reasonable. It was clean, but very dated and the room set up was odd. We would stay again.

Only in an emergency …
The door to my room wouldn’t lock so I had to put chair behind the door while I slept. It took along time for the shower to get warm. The mattresses, bed sheets, pillows should have been replaced in the 90’s

The room was absolutely not what i expected. Way out dated. Barely a locking door. Bed in the kitchen. No balcony and not superior. For $366 one night and $256 the other, i was severely ripped off. Not even enough towels and when we asked for more, the guy gave me one wash cloth. Not a sinlge dish or silverware so what good is the kitchen. Coffee pot with no coffee. This place just plain sucked

Not worth the money
One of the worst motel experiences of my life. Rented for two nights and paid a lot of money for this place. Would say it was more of a dorm room than motel room, which I would not necessarily have a problem with but for the price we paid it is highway robbery. Bed was awful, when we laid down on it our feet were higher than our heads. Back was killing me when I got up because it was so uncomfortable. Shower had no hot water. Sink had no drain stop to shave. There was hair on our sheets and on some of the towels that obviously was not ours. Place was old and decrepit. Was right on the boardwalk, so I would expect some noise at night from that but could hear people in the next rooms. The air conditioner drowned out most of it though as it was probably 90 decibels. Was not able to escape the constant weed smoke outside. Complained to the motel and they offered to put us in a new room but asked for a refund for the second night based on the issues above as I did not believe a new room would be better. Refused the refund. I understood it was non refundable through hotels.com but we were not expecting this level of disfunction so they should have worked with us. Left after one night and ended our vacation early. If your looking for a $120 a night place this would not be terrible but not when your paying 3 star prices.

Typical oceanfront hotel
This is a typical beach hotel. (Could have been updated a little more and just a bit cleaner but was not terrible) Check in was super easy. The employees were very nice and helpful. We stayed on the second floor room 14b it was a family suite with a full-size bed and a bunk bed in one room. Then the second room had a full size bed and the bathroom, mini fridge and closet. There was a small table, microwave and armoire in the main room that had all the beds. The first floor balcony had access straight to the boardwalk, but the top floor had to go back towards the street to get down to ground level. The balcony ran the whole length of the hotel, and there were chairs and benches outside of your door to enjoy the view. The Bathroom is small, but who goes to the ocean to hang out in the room? The other guest were very friendly as well. The office is located straight across the alley at the sister hotel. I feel there may have been rooms in the basement as well, but I would not think they had much for windows. When we needed something like ice or extra towels, I went over to the office and asked, and they happily got them for us. This was a reasonably priced hotel For being directly on the boardwalk. You did have to pay to go on the beaches and they closed at night with a gate and officer located at each. However you can go off the board walk and enter the beach. No life guards there tho. City parking in front of hotel and only 10 spots for guest in lot across

Zoltar was our neighbor!!
We loved how close to the beach it was. Perfect location, our balocony/walkway literally connected to the Boardwalk. We were expecting a room with 2 beds and ended up with 2 rooms with 3 beds. We had a dresser, tv, microwave, small fridge and of course an air conditioner. No chairs but we were at the shore so we brought chairs for the beach so we used them, lol! It worked. I'm sure you could see the beach and ocean from the 2nd or 3rd floor balcony/walkway. Next time we might try to request an upstairs room but really no complaints. The parking was a little far (but free) and you got a nice walk, so it balanced out. A great trip altogether, wished we had more time to stay a day or 2 longer.
Our view from our door, so close.

Was ok. The staff was friendly & try to do their best to accommodate you, but I don't think I would stay again, especially for the price. Location is the only great benefit!! Top bunk was so loose that i was afraid to sleep in the full size bed under it. My daughter actually wanted to sleep on the futon instead of the top bunk, but it was broken & the mattress was so old & worn, you felt every bar underneath you (you could barely sit on it). Asked the office to tighten the bed & he said "its always been that way...its ok"! Ummm...no its definitely not!! So he brought us a rollaway bed. Again, mattress wasnt the best, but she used it anyway, since we were only staying one night. We had NO hot water in the shower. Only 2 outlets & you couldnt even use one because it was so loose that everything fell out. There were no smoke detectors!! There were parts of the room that were so dirty & loaded with sand that you can tell they are never cleaned! And they only have one extremely small parking lot near the motel (it fits like 5 cars). Luckily I ended up being able to jump in a spot quickly when I saw someone leave. Otherwise, you have to park a few blocks away, which is super inconvenient & defeats the purpose of getting a motel right on the boardwalk. It was SO loud around us (especially above us) that I barely slept. I dont expect complete silence. I understand people are on vacation having fun. But when music is BLASTING & people are pounding above you, its frustrating!!
