The location is convenient, and the pricing is above average for the season.
Overall, my experience was mediocre. The situation with the lock significantly detracted from my stay.
I checked in late, having called ahead, and the initial process went smoothly. However, upon opening my door, the lock fell to the ground, leaving the door unsecured for the night. While the area appeared safe, this was understandably concerning.
I informed the reception desk about the issue, and they promptly sent someone to assess the problem during the day. Additionally, the receptionist offered a broom as a temporary solution to keep the door closed, which I appreciated. To mitigate any risks, I left all my belongings in the car while the room remained unlocked. A staff member came to inspect the situation and assured me that a technician would arrive within the next 30 minutes to replace the lock. Although I had prior commitments, I waited for 45 minutes before returning my belongings to the car and notifying reception that I was attending an event, but someone should still arrive to address the issue.
Upon my return, the lock had not been repaired, and I had not received the broom or any alternative means to secure the door, leaving me feeling vulnerable during my stay.
It seems that this may be a recurring issue for the hotel, particularly with the suite I occupied, as evidenced by the numerous broken lock remnants still attached to the door.

I stay in the area at least once a year, for a weekend or concert. usually in season or just out of summer.
My go to hotel is closed this late in the year so i tried the Ships inn as a replacement.
I am really bummed to say that i did not enjoy my stay at at this establishment.
Upon arrival the women behind the counter asked me to kindly wait while she finished her texting..ok after a 2 and a half hour drive i dont mind stretching my legs a minute.
After a 30 seconds to a minute she was ready to check me in, that went as normal until she tried to find the room key, after several minutes of banging around searching the drawer and muttering while voice texting the housekeepers she needs the key back now!.
This takes about 10 minutes and i receive an apology for the wait.
i didnt mind the wait. But the unorganized drama was unnecessary.
I know the website photos of hotel rooms are never quite the reality but this was far from what i was expecting. Way "older" and need of repair than the photos let on.
The mismatched beds were uncomfortable, but the sheets seamed clean. the walls and ceilings are paper thin. Even a casual conversation can be heard from one froom to another, which is something i wish my upstairs neighbors had taken into consideration before making me glad i didnt have the kids with me and honestly making me a little jealous of the youthful stamina.

The bathrooms have mold in them. You had beter bring Spider spray or you will get bit. The rooms will not be cleaned untill you leave.

Old and out of date. Should be demolished and new motel built. But clean. Not worth $200.00

The young man checking us in and out was very polite, kind and courteous I don’t like to leave a 1star review…but our windows was cracked (glass) the smoke detector was pulled out of the ceiling, the floors were literally filthy in the bathroom and the room smelled very badly. If there was another place to stay we would have just left. I apologize no negativity intended towards the owners etc but it was gross.

Got this place last second while attending a concert at Bernie’s beach bar. The price was great! The room was cute, spacious bathroom, and the kitchen even had a stove top which is rare for a cheap room! Was in a convenient location, the a to z shop was right on the corner from our motel. The staff member who checked us in was very polite and professional. I’d recommend this motel and would stay here again in the future

Checked in for 1 night. Slider entry door handle completely broken and hanging. Mold on bathroom ceiling. Smelled like heavy cleaning supplies i believe. Moved us to another room. Mold and stench still obvious. Check out is 10am. Staff knocking on door at 9am. 30 mins after we check out we get a call asking what happened. My response was "in regards to?" Manager says "you checked out. You were booked for 3 nights." As i am looking at my receipt which clearly states 1 night. I replied that is wrong i can send you my booking receipt. She states she will look into it and never got back to me.
All in all no I will not ever stay there again.

The beds were hard, the covers felt like they had sand on them and the shower could use an update. The railing on the balcony is too loose it can be a liability issue. I also couldn’t find the large pool, they should provide a map at check in. The location is great, very close to the beach and attractions.

We enjoyed our stay, 2nd visit for us over the past 2 years. We had a basic room, with a microwave and coffee maker & 2 double beds. It was comfortable, the beds were firm, had a balcony (no view from our room, just facing a wall) but it was convenient to the parking area underneath & best of all close to the beach & boardwalk, a short walk away. It was perfect for our 3 day family vacation. We enjoyed our stay. The staff and cleaning service were attentive.

The property was convenient to the beach and my work. Room was a bit run down like many other places along the beach but the room was clean, quiet, and had everything I needed
2.5 / 5.0
The stay was great. I got a free upgrade to a two bedroom apt like room due to fire alarm work on the building I was suppose to originally stay in. The only problem was a few holes and trouble with the sliding doors but other than that it was very convenient to the beach 3 -5 min walking distance I would definitely book again

A little run down. No elevator. Stayed on third floor with a baby. Not very convenient. However, the boardwalk and beach are around the corner. The beds were uncomfortable and one had a broken leg and sagged in the middle. But for the price and location it was overall a win win.

We arrived early on the morning of our check in and owner was able to accommodate us with an early check in for a small fee. We were soaked and wet cause we drove a few hours in the rain to get here. The owner let us park in the garage. When we arrived at our room one of the bed had a broken leg. Within 15 minutes the owner brought in a new frame and installed it. I recommend this place.

Location was great- right in the middle of it all. Room was adequate. Beds were so hard we may as well slept on the floor. House keeper had a tip envelope in the room. We would have been inclined to use it if she ever made up the room.

The hotel itself was fairly clean but run down.
