Great Motel in OCNJ
Perfect location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool is very nice. Beds were comfortable. A little older of a motel and parking is tight but overall wonderful for the price. Cannot beat it.

Not perfect but reliable
Smooth and early check in with professional staff. Room smelled nice and was clean. Ac worked really well and even though it sounded like a white noise machine, it didn’t make any weird noises. There was a tile missing in the shower which was very small and it was hard to find the right temp. There was a half stove, sink microwave and mini fridge. 7 minute walk to the boardwalk. Second stay here and I will come back.

Although the property is older - an OC classic - it is very clean and well-fitted for having a meal in room. I felt very welcomed and comfortable there.

Old and in bad shape
Floor was dirty. Found 3 mouse traps. Bathroom floor was peeling. Paint and stucco peeling. Rusted baseboard. Had to ask for a blow dryer. Shower was tiny and had a spongey floor. No safe for valuables.
