Very clean, staff was nice, be sure to bring cash to pay for the second half at check in, they charge a fee to use a card at that point.
Stayed there last summer and there was a little mix up with our reservation. We ordered a room that included a full kitchen and were given one without it. However, the staff was very friendly and accomodating. They were able to give us a room that met our needs at their secondary property and still let us use their pool at 16 and Surf. Really appreciate that this is a family-owned business. The original room we were given was cozy, very clean, well-organized, and made good use of space. Would definitely stay with them again.
Stayed here many times over the years. Great rooms, kitchenette, fridge. Pool always clean. Accepts small pets with a dog run in the back. Overall 5 star place.
Our first day we check in we were going to arrived late I called the manager (Carol) to let her know and she assured us it was ok and waited for us to arrive. The room and pool area are very clean and well maintained they offer daily housekeeping services which is a bonus. The staff are professional, accomadating and really nice. I would recommend this motel to my friends & family. The motel is in a convenient area near the beach, boardwalk, stores, & many restaurants. We definitely see another stay in the near future..Thank you very much Carol & housekeeping for all your hospitality. M.Valle

Great motel. Not far from the boardwalk or other points of interest. Best bang for the buck. A repeat visitor!
Close to beach and boardwalk. The owners are wonderful people. It has a pool.
A 5-minute walk from the boardwalk and the nearest beach, this low-key motel is a mile from both Morey's Piers amusement park and Splash Zone Water Park.
