This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in...ever! The beds were horrible- we got NO sleep. It was loud, the lights didn't work in the room. (They were fixed, but seriously-the power cord was cut!) The balcony had 1 dirty plastic chair on it AND we were "showered" on by rowdy folks upstairs urinating off of their... More

First, there is only one driveway to the place which makes it really hard to get in because you get caught up in one-way streets when you're trying to get back. The room we had was nice. Nice furniture and the bed was extremely comfortable. It is a bit run down (the wall paint is chipping in places) but it's... More

Where do I start? I arrive to the hotel to check in. The lady gives me a disclaimer form that I have to sign before I can check in. I ask what it is before I read and she said she wasn't sure. Mind you she looked 14 years old and working on school work by herself. I asked if... More

The hotel is a few blocks from the boardwalk but it very centrally located. It is easy to walk to shops, restaurants and the boardwalk. It is on a busy street but if you get a room on the back building without a view of the boardwalk it is nice a quite. The rooms are big and have microwaves and... More

Been to this place a few times. It is the best 'bang for your buck.' Every time we have went we have stayed on the ocean side balcony rooms. Great view of the boardwalk, especially at night when all the lights are on. For it being located near a somewhat busy road it is very quiet in the rooms, easy... More

They charged us $147 for the dirtiest hotel room I have ever slept in. The floor hadn't been vacuumed. The bedspread was covered in stains and cigarette burns. Their 'continental breakfast' was a bunch of stale muffins thrown all together into a yellowing tupperware bin. The other occupants were carloads of college kids out partying, or other bewildered people like... More

Ok let me start with the few positive aspects. It was cheap and i could see the boardwalk from the room. The owners were friendly. And that was about it. So for the bad. The first thing that i noticed was that it smelt horribly in the stair case and the rooms. The towels in my room were stained, luckily... More

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. I get upset just thinking about it. At first the management was friendly. They sent me to my room which was pretty gross. Just not very clean. Within a half hour of being there the manager and a service man just walked into my room and told me they had to... More

I should have heeded the warnings of so many before me. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed. Although the sheets appeared clean, there were stains on the towels, the room itself and bathroom had depressing qualities. The view out of the back of the hotel is scary. Two houses with "multiple" families dwelling all in... More
