Stayed for two nights in December 2025. Never saw a staff member after we checked in. Did not receive any room cleaning or fresh towels during our stay.. Hotel was in disrepair, the back steps are crumbling, the rear deck was taped off with caution tape, so we couldn’t use it, and there was a hole through our bathtub that was just filled in with caulk.

Better than expected. Room was updated and even had a full size fridge. Loved how convenient it was to the restaurants on either side and even across the street. Tanger was within walking distance but we drove so we didn't have to walk back with bags. There was beautiful hot air balloons in the air both days we were in town. Will definitely stay here again. Only two negatives, no breakfast of any kind and the pool was dirty.

The lady who checked me in was pleasant and nice. The other staff were fair. The outside of the property needs to be cleaned and updated. The carpet in the hallway is soiled, the doors and walls need to be cleaned and freshly painted. The room was just okay. I used Lysol wipes on the handles, remote, light switches, air conditioner and other hard surfaces. The soap dispenser was empty so we had to use the shower gel dispenser to wash our hands with. Upon checking out, another guest in the lobby told the staff that the light in the lobby bathroom was out. You cannot receive a replacement for towels and washcloths unless you take your used ones to the lobby, which is an inconvenience. We will not be returning to this hotel.

We didn’t get the king size bed nor the bottom floor. We had two double beds and blamed it on you guys for the mistake. They were in the process of remodeling and wood,lights were all over the walkways and parking lot. We could get our tv to stop subtler. So we will never stay there again the room had a odor also

The staircase which we didn't have to use but walked past the underside of it is rotting away. The metal staircase that is. It's very unsafe. Had to kill 3 bugs while there and no we did not track them in with us. Someone before us left their shirt hanginf on the bathroom doorknob so that shows that cleaning person did not thoroughly check or clean the bathroom. Room smelt like wet dog and front desk person said they are a pet friendly hotel. I said that it should still not smell like a dog. The back deck wood is rotting and they covered it up by using the composite decking. It does look like they are fixing hotel up but they also left a huge mess towards the back and side parking lot with all debris on the ground, tons of crap piled up around shed. Just poor looking property. No hangers to hang clothes on, just a 3 pronged coat rack. Even though the bed sheets were cleaned, the stains on the sheet were a huge turn off. The room numbers make no sense as they skip on one side of the building to then have to find your room on the opposite side of building in between numbers that are not in order. Bazaar. Over-all it was a sketchy stay and it should look better for the price and the fact that it's right next to so many attractions.

First they gave me a four that had no curtains and it stank and it was also dirty. Then they changed my room. The place is dirty, you can see that they only clean it on top and they don't clean the floor or anything. Not recommended at all, besides, at 6 AM the fire alarm started ringing for about an hour. I would never come back. I've never been to a place as disgusting as this

My Non-smoking room reeks of smoke. Informed the front desk about the heavy smell of smoke and they just said it’s a non smoking room. Bed sheets are very old and have holes in them. Light above sink does not work. I would suggest staying somewhere else.

Overall, do not recommend staying here unless you don't care about the room and just need a cheap place to sleep.

Very clean and recently renovated rooms. Had a regular sized refrigerator as opposed to a tiny dorm fridge. There was, as well, a counter top with sink beside fridge. However, the sink had yet to be hooked up for use. Overall I was pleased. It's a step in the right direction and hopefully the cost of upgrade will keep the type of people out who previously decreased the property value.

Check-in was a disaster. He said aloud that my card was declined, but it wasn't. He didn't realize I prepaid with Expedia. After a few minutes he realized hia error. We drove around the back to the room and the door was propped open with a chair. Wasps and other flying insects were in the room. The room smelled of smoke, mold, and feces. I went back to desk ans while I waited I went to the lobby bathroom. The mirror and sink had brown splashes on it. The walls were covered in graffiti. There was no soap and no paper towels. The whole place felt unsafe. There were literal gang members staying there. The overall area is safe, but that motel attracted seedy characters.

I really wanted to rate this hotel high but it is extremely dated and worn. Yes everything functions but dear management, it’s time. Gut out the rooms and reface it. There is enough tourism in the area that you can afford to reconstruct. The staff were extremely friendly. The hotel is in the heart of where you want to be but I wouldn’t come back. The room reeked of over use, the towels were like Ajax pads, the carpet is older then dirt, I’m grateful it was only for one night that I needed the room.
