Excellent, clean accommodations
The interior space and grounds were immaculate. The bathroom fixtures and floor and wall tile appeared to be new. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The carpeting and hard floor were very clean and in excellent condition. On site parking was easy and convenient. I will definitely stay here again.

Out of different motels in the area you can’t find better than this one. Perfect distance to the boardwalk, room is like a small studio apartment. I will be staying here again.
