It was clean. We got two coffee packets and a little coffee maker, a microwave and a little fridge. We had a handicap size shower, a king size bed. The cable TV didn’t work, yet the front staff was responsive and fixed it immediately. Continental breakfast 8 - 10 had hard boiled eggs, bagels, toaster, butter and jelly packets, peanut butter, cocoa pebbles and cheerios, whole milk, and strong coffee.

Whatever you do, DO NOT book this property! Me and my wife booked this. The place looked like it had not been cleaned for at least a month!! Manager did not want to give me a refund, expedia is only willing to give us a credit for $75. Horrible experience all around! Do yourself a favor, book something a bit more expensive and save yourself a major headache!

It’s very old, the inner courtyard was better maintained than the room. Not the cleanest but tolerable for short stays. Toilet had an awful brown rust stain. Towels, pillows, microwave and refrigerator were at least 20 years old and not much upkeep on them. All felt and appeared dirty, that was a problem for me! Staff were courteous but scarce. Great location to OC, Sea Isle and walkable to a few convenient stores.

Although we only booked to sleep and shower this place was horrible. Pictures online do not at all represent the property. Do not let the pictures foul you. When I ckd out I stated some of the issues and the front desk person said he knew! I was flabbergasted. Honestly do not book,,,although reasonable pricing it is definitely not worth it.

This place was filthy. The lock on our door didn’t even work. The bathroom shelf was so loose I thought it was going to break. The toilet was dirty. The room stunk. There were people standing out side smoking marijuana and drinking. It was so bad, we only stayed one night if our two night stay. We chose to stay awake for 24 straight hours and drive home rather than staying another night there.

Room was clean; AC, TV, and shower worked great and the bed was comfortable. Coffee was fresh and hot in the morning, however, \"breakfast\" consisted of 2 types of dry cereal, a few slices of white bread (and a toaster) and an open jar of peanut butter. Fortunately, we had gotten donuts on the boardwalk the day before; there's also a Wawa just down the road. Big, nice-looking pool, but we didn't have time to check it out. Overall, nice room for a very reasonable price.

I stayed here for one night and unfortunately did not have a good experience. The water had an unpleasant smell, making it uncomfortable to shower or even brush my teeth. The shower drain did not work properly, causing water to collect instead of draining. The bed was also noisy and made sounds whenever I moved.

Overall, the property did not meet my expectations and did not feel like a hotel. Based on my experience, I would not recommend staying here.

Most lights in room were broken in addition to non working hairdryer, outlets not working except one near bathroom. The breakfast, although free, had only the most unhealthy food options available. Sink water smelled like rusty iron and I had an allergic reaction after taking a shower. So I definitely wouldn’t recommend booking here unless you’re desperate for shelter. Staff was helpful and courteous. However, I will not return.

The entire motel is run down and dirty! The first room we were given had an unassembled AC unit on the floor next to the bed. The second room did not have running water. We went to the office again and were told that there was a pollution problem a few months ago, so just let the water run. We asked for a bottle of water to brush our teeth. They told us they don’t provide water to guests that we could go up the street to a store! We opened the tap when we returned to the room and the water came out in a trickle and it was brown! We booked a nonsmoking room but unfortunately it was connected to a smoking room and the smell came right under the door. We stuffed a towel along the door bottom but it wasn’t much help. The TV remote control literally stuck to your hand! The sheets appeared okay, so we got our own water, spent the night and then left early in the morning to go find somewhere else to shower. Do NOT believe a single review that says anything positive about this place. Everything is misrepresented on the website and the staff is unprofessional and lacking in even the smallest amount of customer service.

We needed a place to stay for the night on short notice, and when we started to look there were few hotels with vacancies in and around Atlantic City. We just needed a place to get some sleep which this hotel was adequate. On the good side, the clerk called us to verify our arrival time. The lobby was locked up and front desk wasn’t manned, but the clerk was quick to respond for check in and later on to get ice which was located in the lobby. The wifi was excellent and the tv channel selection was great. The room itself was adequate for what we needed, but the photos on the website were either renovated rooms or selective photography. We had a non-smoking room, but you could definitely smell the residual smell of cigarette smoke in the room. Most of the amenities in the room were old. The mini fridge leaked water. The sink and bathtub had rust stains, and ran the water in the shower for about 30 seconds before it ran clear. I could not rate the pool because it was closed for the season and we had to leave before breakfast was available in the morning. The area where the hotel is located was far enough away from the road so that it is quiet, and there are a few fast food restaurants, gas station, and supermarket nearby.

Decent hotel for the money. To say it needs a few updates is like saying the Kardashians have had a few cosmetic surgeries done. I haven't seen a shower like that since the 80s. But it's clean, reasonably comfortable, and fairly priced. I didn't pay Ritz prices, so I never expected Ritz amenities. It's within easy striking distance of Atlantic City and there's reasonably priced food choices all around the hotel.

You get what you pay for. The floors have been updated but the walls, vanity and bath tub are dirty. Holes in the wall that were just pained over. Paid for a smoke free room, said smoke free on the door, yet the room STUNK or smoke. Husband went to shower and the water was tinged brown. People def live there. Again, was tolerable for a few hours after a wedding before driving home in the morning.

the Outside area was pretty quiet except on the second night we had a neighbor who got into a domestic fight with her man with her kids and called the cops on him. You can hear through the walls to the adjourning rooms. The furniture and certain fixtures definitely need updating ( hangers and certain things were rusted, toilet slightly leaking) Pool appeared clean though didn't hear the filters running. Just be aware of some of the patrons. appear like they may do some other \"activities\" Otherwise wasn't a bad stay.

Overpriced for the type of quality the hotel offers. To make it worse they charged more than it was agreed on in the Expedia booking. Basically charged me as if I had stayed an extra night. Only went here because it was the only hotel near our vacation spot but I would not book with them again.

Spare yourself and stay somewhere else. The motel is run down and grungy. There was POOP at the bottom of the pool. Tv didnt work. The bedding and towels had rogue hairs on them. The entire place felt grungy and dirty. The person next door was clearly living there and gave major creep vibes. Smoking rooms are right next to non smoking and the smell permeates through the walls which set off our allergies. Coffee maker didn’t work, refrigerator was hot. Toilet didn’t flush. It was awful.

Bare minimum for a place to stay. Dirty, moldy, and smelly. Cheapest place we could find near the beach. The fridge was cold and there was a Keurig. Would NOT recommend room 111. Overall not bad

This property was nice clean very convenient. If you’d like a really hard bed, you’ll love this, but it was very hard for me and hard to get a good nights sleep. But the room was clean, spacious and very convenient to where we needed to be. Nice staff Comfortable environment.

Disgusting hotel

Run! Do not stay at this place. Run as far away as you can. Spend the extra money on a different place. This place was absolute trash. And the only reason I’m giving it any stars is so that I can write a review and describe how horrible the conditions were. The pictures posted online do not resemble anything that the hotel rooms look like. You walk in the walls are half painted in cream and a dreadful blue the craftsmanship of the floors are poor, the bathroom doesn’t have a sink but there is a sink outside of the bathroom and it’s falling apart. The shower was dirty. The shower had a film of maybe a cleaning agent? Idk button It was blue on the shower curtain and the walls. I used a towel to shower because I didn’t want to stand on the floor in the shower floor. And the towel ended up turning yellow I think from the water. The rooms scream construction site, unfinished. From the paint, holes in the wall, loose knobs.Unfortunately, I had to stay at this place because there were no other available options locally for us. I checked in later because I flew in late and was stuck at this place. I think people actually live in this hotel because they were hanging their laundry from the fence around the pool. There was trash stacked behind the pool on the land. I can’t express how bad the condition of this hotel is. When I spoke with the manager, they refused to give me any of my money back and said the rooms are perfectly fine. Do yourself a favor, and stay anywhere but here!!!!!!!

The staff were really good at check-in and very nice. The place doesn’t look much like what it does on the photos. It’s very outdated and a little rundown. But it was good for what it was for one night. The room was cozy. The TV was a nice size. . It was pretty close proximity to the boardwalk and the beach about 10 or 15 minutes driving. All in all we would probably stay here again for the price. It was good for what it was..

The room was clean and well prepared from a housekeeping standard, so we found it acceptable to stay for the two nights that we booked. The property is dated and some areas in a state of disrepair. The accomodations that we had older furnishings in fair condition. There was two lamps, on had a bulb out. There was three wall mounted light fixtures, one didn't work and were powered by a lamp cord plugged into a receptacle. The bathroom had a loose toilet and a loose toilet seat but was in working order. There was a wall hung sink with a mirror over it. The bathtub was older and was reglazed, but poorly done. There were grab bars installed that were loose and also not professionally installed. The shower head was mounted to a vertical rod mount to allow for height adjustment but was also loose from the wall plus the head would no stay in position. The ceramic wall tiles were also poorly installed and was missing grout in some areas. The office was part of a larger space that includes a lounge area and a few tables for the free breakfast. We chose not to use this since it wasn't very inviting plus there were better options nearby.
We also didn't visit the outdoor pool for the same reason.
This is the first time that I used Expedia. The price we paid was as advertised but had the description of the facility been better described I'm sure we would have looked elsewhere. Overall, clean but disappointed in the hotel accommodations and even more disappointed in Expedia.

Room was clean, air condition worked fine, Paul was helpful to replace the room coffee maker with a new one as the one there was missing a carafe. Cleaning staff was happy and helpful. Albert was helpful for my last breakfast.
The owner should place scenic posters to cover the plain plywood picture windows at the front facade to give the place charm and a better first appearance.

Although the people that stayed next to us were quite pleasant and quiet, all I could smell was weed.
We were about two hours late from check-in, which is usually not a big deal. Check-in is at two around 4 o'clock when we about eight minutes away they called to ask us where we were and they were not polite.
We were staying on the end unit, so we could take the sidewalk along the side of the building to the parking lot, but it was blocked by bicycles.
They were very particular about me not being there on time, but they were OK with some guy filling his entire cooler with all of the ice so when I needed a little bit, there wasn't any. They didn't say anything to him. Why would I expect anything different?

This place was good for a 1-2 night stay. Close to parkway entrance. Very reasonable for Friday and Saturday night stay. The furniture was outdated but the bed and bathroom were clean. The staff were helpful. When I could not get my TV to work.The staff came to my room quickly and fixed it. The breakfast was limited. I would recommend village kitchen for breakfast which was close by.

Would never stay there again.

Place is in desperate need of upkeeping. Shower head broken, slow drain, floor all cracked up around toilet with mold exposed, the whole toilet wasn’t even attached properly as it probably needs a new wax seal. There were dead bugs on floor in bathroom which proved it wasn’t cleaned well. Carpeting and sofa was gross. Bed was ok but that’s about it. Pool area needs repairs and updating. Signs are worn out. Says only 4 people in pool but there were many kids in there and no one watch watching them. The whole place is in need of repairs from the outside to the inside. Windows were filthy. Their mini van sits outside the hotel with 4 flat tires. Real welcoming site as you drive in.
The continental breakfast wasn’t much. We tried to get a cup of coffee but the coffee creamers must have been expired as it curdled. There was no one around to even mention anything. There was no one there when we checked out at 6:45 am so we just left keys in the room. We wanted to discuss these issues with the young man that checked us in as the online photos and descriptions are deceiving.

Not clean or updated.

The hotel from picture looks updated and clean, not at all clean. Landscaping is horrible, not well maintained. Room dirty walls and bugs. I had a bug in my bed, and had to strip bed to make sure there were no others. Walls in shower were black from dirt and not cleaned in months. I would not go back to this location ever.

It was a fine experience for the price. We were in town for a party so 6 of us rented two separate rooms to sleep in for one night. In our room the TV did not work, there was mismatched chairs and one had white stains on it. The bathroom was clean but everything was stained (like grout and toilet bowl). One of the hangers in the closet had a piece of chewed gum on it. The walls are not the same color as they are in the photos, and could use a new paint job. My friends stayed in a different room and said the water coming out of their shower was not clear. The towels and linens seemed clean, and the mini fridge was convenient. Overall, a fine place to sleep for a few hours, definitely not to stay in for more than a night or two.

Old Facilities

Not-so-good experience. Room seemed clean, but the shower curtain rod was extremely rusty, shower tile needed grout, stained countertops, creepy old upholstered chair next to the bed, and stained sheets. Would not recommend and would not stay again. I'd rather sleep in my car.
