This is a hotel that has been around for quite awhile. I believe it has recently been somewhat renovated. We arrived early and the front desk staff were very welcoming and friendly. They gave us permission to use the pools while we waited on our room. Room was clean, but dated. AC units were window units and very loud. Beds were not very comfortable. Location is great! Many restaurants are within walking distance, as well as the boardwalk. Beach is a short walk with easy access. Our second night was a big disappointment. The upstairs neighbors were out of control from 9:30 P.M. until well after 1:30 in the morning. There was so much pounding, stomping, and what sounded like furniture being dropped on the floor. We didn't know if it was a disagreement among others or someone under the influence of ***** or alcohol. It was so loud and disruptive that sleep was impossible so my family and I packed up at 1:30 in the morning and drove home. Fortunately we live only an hour and 15 minutes away. The front office is closed from 9:00 P.M. until 9:00 A.M., so there was really no one to contact other than the police, which we didn't want to get involved with. The hotel does give you an "emergency" number to contact, but I didn't feel disrespectful slamming and pounding constituted a true "emergency." We did contact the office the next day to express our concerns. Apparently the front desk person is going to speak to the manager regarding our complaint. We have not heard back from anyone as of this review. So in conclusion: Front Desk Staff-5/5. Pools-5/5. Location 5/5. Beds-1/5. Beach Access-4/5. Neighbors-0/5. Options for any kind of help or assistance other than police response after 9:00 P.M. 1/5.

We stayed two nights, three days for a little get away with family. We booked the two room with kitchenette. The check in was very easy and staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The property is very well kept. Our room was very clean and up to date. They have two pools to enjoy…very clean with lounge chairs and pool toys. Everything was in walking distance…beach, shops restaurants and carnival. We will definitely visit again 10/10!

I really enjoyed my stay. Upon arrival we were about an hour early, we met Cameron outside who allowed us early entry into our room. It was a very nice and clean room. Property was very walkable to the beach, boardwalk, and restaurants.

My 35th anniversary, unforgettable ❤️
We weathered a freak storm together and the owner of the motel was very gracious by putting us up in another establishment at no extra cost .

We stayed 2 nights. The other guest were quiet for the most part. But, the housecleaning folks were very loud and being on vacation with no wake-up time was very disturbing. These ladies would slam the doors. Taking very loud. Moving furniture around while we were sleeping or trying to sleep. The BEDS were very very uncomfortable. The other issue is we had NO HOT water. Wow. Imagine that !!! Probably will have to not book this motel again. We were in room 17
