Great Motel in OCNJ

Perfect location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool is very nice. Beds were comfortable. A little older of a motel and parking is tight but overall wonderful for the price. Cannot beat it.

Although the property is older - an OC classic - it is very clean and well-fitted for having a meal in room. I felt very welcomed and comfortable there.
Elaine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not comfortable or family friendly

The motel we stayed in was very small. Furniture had to be moved in order to use the pull out sofa bed. The couch had tears and stains in it. There wasn’t a real mattress on the sofa bed. It was the most uncomfortable sofa bed I have ever slept on. I could feel every spring in the sofa bed. The shower was very dark and way too small. There was no bath tub, which made it difficult to clean young children. The best part of the stay was the quick and convenient walk to the boardwalk and beach.

Not perfect but reliable

Smooth and early check in with professional staff. Room smelled nice and was clean. Ac worked really well and even though it sounded like a white noise machine, it didn’t make any weird noises. There was a tile missing in the shower which was very small and it was hard to find the right temp. There was a half stove, sink microwave and mini fridge. 7 minute walk to the boardwalk. Second stay here and I will come back.

It was okay. It’s an older place and somethings needed some maintenance.

Old and in bad shape

Floor was dirty. Found 3 mouse traps. Bathroom floor was peeling. Paint and stucco peeling. Rusted baseboard. Had to ask for a blow dryer. Shower was tiny and had a spongey floor. No safe for valuables.

8/10 Very good

Great stay, convenient, and check in was easy. Only issue was parking. Even though there were vacancies there was not enough parking. On our second night there was an oversized pickup truck blocking the entrance and again parking overnight was an issue as well.

Great motel for family.

Nice motel… very clean and friendly service.
Tara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is your typical, older, old-school shore "mom and pop" shore motel. Although the room was dated, everything was clean, in good repair, and comfortable. We had a small two-room unit, with a queen bed in its own (small) room and a queen bed in the main area, which also had a small kitchenette with a two-burner stove, coffee maker, etc. Absolutely nothing for us to complain about as the amenities matched our expectations for the price. Convenient location a few blocks from the boardwalk and a few blocks from lots of restaurants and shopping options. We'd stay there again.
