Hotel was not at all what was advertised, health and safety for this location is a concern. It should not be advertised on Expedia’s website and now I have to go back and forth with Expedia to get my refund even though I paid for insurance coverage

As soon as we got to our floor, the second floor, we were hit with the smell of cigarette smoke despite it being a non-smoking floor (maybe even hotel?). Throughout the night we kept getting whiffs of cigarettes throughout the room. The most concerning part, under the bathroom counter there were glue traps for mice and other bugs and insects which leads me to believe it’s not the cleanest, most maintained hotel. Luckily, we were only there for a night but if we took our family there for a vacation I’d be very disappointed to stay in that hotel

The bones of the hotel are good. It's everything else that is in the hands of management that fell short. Dust in the air vent, a lamp that flashed like a strobe light when it was on (management replaced with one from another room but that lamp was quite dirty), no drain plugs in the sink or tub, a glue trap in the bathroom, one tiny trash can for the entire room, a non-functional ice maker, the entire second floor smelling like smoke, slow Internet, and a hotel manager that knocked on the door five minutes before 11:00 checkout to ask if we were checking out, then hovered nearby as we left the room.

1st room was a bust. Immaculate but horrific odor from a definite long term Tennant who smoked like a chimney in the room. I requested a new room which was perfect and clean with no horrific odor. Not sure why I didn't get this room the 1st time because 108 should not even be offered. A lot of long term residents live here but were not a problem. They hopefully in the future will repair the pool. Nice size. Shower was great... water hot! Beds and linens were comfy and AC in 2nd Deluxe room was nice and cold. I would stay here in a deluxe room again minus the smell. Close to everything.

Firstly, the deadbolt didn’t work, and the excuse I received was “ none of them work, you can use the chain….and besides, I’m here 24/7 so it’s ok “.
That’s not OK for two women staying alone they’re not familiar with !!
Shortly, after speaking to the manager about the deadbolt, I tried to go to the bathroom…. And noticed that the toilet water kept rising and rising and rising, so I had to call for him to bring a plunger.!!! Not only did he bring a plunger, but he just handed it to me like I was supposed to do the plunging !!! WHAT !??? Are you freaking kidding me….. and to top things off, the hallways were littered with stains of disgusting colors and the front door that was supposed to slide back and forth. You had to do it manually with your hand, and there was even a sign on it that said that’s what you needed to do !
Inadequate lighting in the bedroom, it was held together by electrical tape, and there was no lights above the beds ! It’s lucky to get 1 star from me !
If I didn’t have such a close by plan, I would’ve gotten a different hotel but I probably would’ve gotten charged and I was just so disgusted with everything ! I should have told Expedia !! I

We didn't mind this hotel, it was very basic but cleaner than a stay in seaside heights. The room was damp but cool. The pool and fitness area were closed, and the fire alarm went off once during the one night stay (but turned off shortly after). Hotel was small, parking was easy. They had a tiny, tiny breakfast area but we did not check it out. Staff were fine. Id rather stay 8 minutes from the boardwalk for this price then double in the boardwalk for a dirtier room.

rundown and outdated property

hotel front entrance door broken and has a sign to open and close manually . not a good start for a disabled person using a walking device . looking back at other reviews i can see this has been broken since atleast march 2025 . what kind of hotel doesnt have a working door for over 4 months ? arrived at 2:25pm and was told id have to pay $50 to check in before 3pm . literally 30 minutes early . woman at desk was very rude about it as well . so i had to sit in my car for a half hour which is ridiculous when rooms were clearly ready . room itself has not sparkling but was passable for a quick stay . stains in the bathroom and hairs on the hardwood floor in numerous places . tv was bigger and nice . bed was very stiff and uncomfortable . no ice machine on the first floor and just 1 microwave for the entire place . no mention of these things or of a pool or gym at check-in but i did see signs for them , no idea if they were operating or not but my guess is no . seems the workers like to park in the handicap stalls right at the entrance as i saw them parking there all thru my stay , with no handicap tag i might add . not a good look to someone who needs those spots . hotel clearly has been neglected and i would not recommend staying here . i would pay a little more for a better situation in the future

Main entrance was broken so you jad to push the electric door open and closed, needless to say the surrounding vlass was filthy dirty. Light fixture in lobby was taped in place, rug waa loose and filthy - a complete tripping hazard. We were asked to sign a typed form, unbranded, requiring a swcurity hold on our credit card. When I asked about it he said, \"oh, that wont apply to you\".

The room was in decent condition - linens were clean as was bathroom. The wall mounted gair dryer was removed but the mounting plate was left there.

We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years but the new owners/management company have let it deteriorate. I truly wondered if it was being used as a temporary housing facility.

We will NEVER be back, and I strongly encourage you not to stay here.
