best. hotel. ever! one of my best experiences of all the hotels i’ve been too, its a very homey experience and the pool is GREAT! the breakfast has a good variety of stuff and the rooms are comfortable. the staff are nice and funny. the beds are soft and so are the blankets, a good bed to get into after you’ve been in the pool or when you walked the boardwalk. slept really good and better than any hotel i stayed at. the only problems was the lights and how they didn’t work, but it didn’t really matter because we didn’t need them and how the blankets had cigarette holes? but, after all it was GREAT experience! the shower pressure was also good, best shower head. really nice hotel, very down to earth and nice. :)

My family totalling 13 people just stayed 5 days/ nights here and for the price we felt it was a very good stay. No one bothered us, everything in all 3 rooms worked ,rooms were cleaned daily ,breakfast was limited but descent and enough options for everyone to find something each morning. Even on the busiest nights we were not disturbed , also staff were all very friendly and helpful ,washers/ dryers /ice machine everything worked, and also pool is nice size and kept clean. Many places to eat and shop within walking distance mall across road and beach only a 20 minute drive away. We would definitely stay here again!

Rooms very clean, nicely designed staff so amazing, decent Continental breakfast. Located one block from Dunkin Donuts, I'm a New Yorker so yay, but across street discovered Tim's and love the gourmet coffee and bakery treats and staff so nice and a plus. Only dislike is I am in wheelchair and there is no curb or sidewalk in while side of highway so if you commute by HRT though cross Street it is quite dangerous getting in and out of motel. Delicious Mongolian BBQ restaurant up street, located on my throughway so many eating options, bank and Wawa and Walmart at Janef only round corner. I wheeled to it several times. And price is adequate as room equals a hundred dollar room at Hampton; microwave, mini fridge and comfortable king bed. I saw Noel bugs or rodents. I enjoyed my two week stay and will plan stay again when In area.

Great place. Our rooms were nice and clean. The bathroom was always clean. The pool size was a real bummer. Wasn't to excited about the pool. But, the shore line was about 15-20 minutes from us. So that was a great substitute.

Overall, I was happy with my stay here. June 21 and 22 2018. The rooms are being updated, ours had a fresh coat of paint, and new mattress and pillows. The whirlpool tub was nice and clean, although only half of the jets worked. We made online reservations where they stated that the suites were all non smoking, but we ending up in a smoking room. (No complaints though, because we are smokers. It was a pleasant surprise.) The staff was a bit short but not rude. I was absolutely shocked to see that the filters in the AC was sparkling clean! The fridge and microwave were also clean. The breakfast could have been a bit better, not much of a selection, but there is a Dunkin' Donuts half a block away. For being 15mins from the beach, I have no complaints about the price/quality.

They are super servicing all their guests. Helped a family experience homelessness and needing an extention on their room. The lobby was very comfortable to make calls and raise the funds to keep them in their room for another night while they met with agencies to obtain more long term assistance.

The beds are very comfortable! I love the blankets that kept us warm and cozy at night. We had a toilet problem in room 231 but overall, the prices are great. Breakfast is great. Might come back soon in October for a fishing vacation.
