We've stayed at the Impala several times. It's convenient to the boardwalk, clean and comfortable. Easy to park. Staff is friendly and helpful. One minor issue is the shades in some rooms aren't effective enough to keep the light out.

The location was perfect. Everything was great- but the bed. Most uncomfortable mattress I ever slept on!

The non-smoking room smelled like smoke so we asked for another room and the front desk accommodated without an issue. Second room was much better. It is an older beach motel, but the room was very clean and comfortable. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it’s very close to two roller coasters so there’s a noise issue when they’re running. Very close to boardwalk and beach and would stay here again.
