Great customer service. Very friendly staff and great location. We don't care about fancy places to stay in so this was perfect. We just wanted to be walking distance to the beach. We didn't have toilet paper but when I asked the front desk, he was quick to respond. I would stay here again
3.2
It’s a great place to stay. It’s right down the street to boardwalk
3.2
There were three beds as stated
These rooms were dirty and have not been upgraded in quite a while. Lots of people look to live here, and we weren't fully comfortable with kids.
The tub was stained, and the rooms reaked of pinesol. For the price, it was not worth it at all.
3.2
Nothing!! It was filthy. Felt very unsafe. Not by the beach at all like it advertised. Located in a back alley
Everything the price was ridiculous for what it was. Advertising was false it was a long way from the beach
3.2
Always a pleasure each time to stay at this motel. So lovely and cosy and next to the beach. Love this motel
3.2
Theocation was very close to the boardwalk
Booked two rooms, for three people (me, my mother and my nephew), was moved into one room. No WiFi. Very noisy neighbours
3.2
It had a balcony.
The Fireside in had water damage so I was moved day of. The other location (Ocean Gate)wasn’t an easy walk to the beach, further from where I needed to be, and had extremely loud auto traffic. The fella who checked me in was not very pleasant either.
3.2
it was right next to the boardwalk
3.2
The staff were super accommodating and very vigilant with getting us sorted with a room. It was a simple hotel with parking included which was helpful as it's location was right in the heart of the CBD area. It isn't anything flash but it's location is perfect if you are checking out the pier.
The shower was a bit weak and there was a metal frame to the bed we kept hitting our feet on. But other than that it's a budget overnight style motel.
3.2
Location is excellent
Proprietor charged an additional $20.00 for our 17 year old. Even though the room had a king bed and a full in the second room. 3 people total.
3.2
the location
the parking lot and there was all kinds of bed frames and trash outside each room

location is great. staff nice
run down. bed terrible
3.2
very close to the boardwalk. manager very friendly and accommodating.
Smelled like previous occupant smoked in the room. The place has no vacancy so there wqs nowhere to move to.
3.2
The motel staff is very friendly and take care of their customers. They are there willing to help you. I found the room and the bathroom very clean, and the latter also contained a lot of towels. There are a couple of vending machines, useful for quick snacks or drinks. Overall the experience there was very pleasant and I hope to come back soon. I asked them a couple of unusual favors and they always replied promptly and positively. The motel position is very good, both the beach and downtown are within walking distance.
3.2
the location was good
the property was dark and horrible. smelt really badly of
disinfectant. not big enough for 5 people. the bathroom
was tiny. it needed a major refurb.
Do NOT stay here !!!
3.2
5 minute walk to the board walk front desk was so sweet!
the bed was horrible! so hard! like sleeping on springs. bathroom could’ve been better and we lost water for a about 30 minutes with no warning. construction was happening so I get it but a warning would’ve been nice
3.2
Location great
Pricey. No coffee pot orhair dryer. Could have used more towels.

the control to the tv
3.2
nothing
parking lot is a joke, only allowed 1 parking space per room. Property mangers were crazy rude about parking room was really nasty. Never again for 300 a night
3.2
Close to Boardwalk, beds were comfortable, 2 room suite
Condition of the rooms, mold on ceiling, noise plumbing, broken toilet paper holder, clogged sink, poor parking, bad paint job, only 1 washcloth, not very clean.
3.2
Nice and close to the beach and town.
3.2
Location, close to the boardwalk.
Needs work, especially the bathroom and sink area.
3.2
staff is SUPER NICE :)
3.2
That it was only a block away from the boardwalk entrance.
Didn’t really feel family friendly.
3.2
it’s proximity to the boardwalk and free parking
really uncleanly, patched holes in the very thin wall so you hear everything your neighbor dose and says. dried spill marks on the tables and floors. drip marks on the walls. can’t use the heater, only the a/c however it’s a drip hazard so don’t put anything on the dresser below the split level. no fan in the bathroom, just a creepy window in the shower for air. cable box hangs from the tv mounted to the wall. all this, but no coffee or continental breakfast (they scratched it off the sign so there you go). if location and free parking is all you want, and you don’t mind paying fine hotel prices for uncleanlinesses you’ve found your place!
