This is my family’s 3rd year staying here for 1-2 weeks during the summer season. Check in is always a breeze, the rooms are clean, with cold AC and spacious, and the pool is a big plus. Started here with a newborn and now he is 3 - we haven’t outgrown this little motel yet!

The pool was super clean, despite being located near a busy road. The motel was basic but again the room was very clean and offered the typical basic amenities. Check in and out was easy, the attached diner made food options easy,. Located at the causeway, just minutes from all ocean city has to offer, and next door to a Wawa just remember NJ passed a bag rule lol.

Room was in a tiny alcove which was unlit and hard to see so I did not feel very safe. I was unable to open door to my room after checking in. The gentleman at the front desk had to come and push and pull on the door to open it. The air conditioning was not working properly so the same gentleman came in and turned the unit down to 60 degrees to cool the room. The room smelled bad. Parking lot was too small and crowded and parking was treacherous. It also felt unsafe because of the way people were forced to park.

When you the motel from the outside, it looks a little rundown. But when you enter the room, you ahot with a fresh smell of Ivory soap, a very clean and fresh odor. The room is well kept and everything is very clean.

Hotel is dated and smelled stuffy. The blankets were stained and had cigarette burn marks. The place itself is shady and the property is not kept up. It was a last minute booking and nothing else was available. The sheets and pillow cases were clean. It's across the street from a couple of restaurants and a liquor store. You're five minutes away from Ocean City. It served it's purpose but I can't say I would return.

The room is as shown in the images, but the cleaning they do in the rooms is terrible, the bedspreads are dirty or stained as well as the towels, you can see that they don't vacuum them often, the white curtains they have in the rooms Windows at the bottom are full of fungus and the bathroom curtain is very dirty. Honestly, I wouldn't go back. The air conditioning has no maintenance. When you turn it on, too much dust comes out. The bathroom is terrible.

The TV was filthy and the bed spread and blankets had cigarette burns in them and the pillows were very thin. The toilet paper holder was hanging by one screw. Parking was a bit of a challenge. Lobby was gross especially the entryway door. Dust buildup on the cords and outlets. NO Bedbugs and the Wawa right out back were a plus.

Stayed for weekend due to going to a concert in Atlantic City. Room was fine and clean. Diner next door only 1 minute walking distance which was great. Heat worked fine. Hot water was fine. Clean microwave and refrigerator. Mattress could use replacing. A lil springy, not as plush. But it wasn’t a big deal. Bed was still comfortable and I slept well. It’s about 25 minutes to Atlantic City. Overall, I would stay again!

We've stayed at this property many times; Usually are experience has been positive. However during this stay we found the wifi connection was spotty at best, When we spoke to the front desk we were told to stand outside our room, walk toward the office. and wait for a connection. There's a definite need for additional routers

Les chambres étaient propres et bien entretenues, le personnel agréable; bien situé en face du pont qui mène à Ocean City; près de plages et de lieux à visiter; le seul point un peu négatif est la qualité du Wi-Fi qui coupait à toutes les cinq minutes; autre point un peu négatif: le stationnement est étroit, mais à cause de la piscine qui est agréable à utiliser en fin de journée.

Not the most personable desk clerk (almost felt like I was intruding) - 15 min into arrival my door was knocked on, and before I could get to it, the door began to open (it was housekeeping) They seemed confused as to why the unit did not need serviced. There is no chain lock on door just the door lock and dead bolt mechanism, therefore housekeeping or whomever could have just walked right in had I been showering or whatever.. so Security is lacking. THAT SAID: The unit was clean, spacious, beds firm but comfortable, pillows flat and over used, towels clean but dingy. Overall, for the low price, it is very acceptable, quiet, safe location, easy access. I may try another place next time, but would not be opposed to staying again.

Booked room for convenience and location. It’s walking distance to restaurants, a few minutes drive to Ocean City beach and boardwalk. It was an easy check in. Pleasant and attentive staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Water was hot and pressure good. air conditioner worked well. I liked having a refrigerator and microwave in the room, cause I’ve been to some that did not. The room was same as pictured on the site. Nothing fancy but I enjoyed the simplicity and I enjoyed my overnight stay. I booked additional overnights for later this month. Can’t beat the price and location. Looking forward to returning.
