Great bargain motel for proximity to the beach and boardwalk, with multiple decent restaurants within a 10 minute walk (Mexican place around the corner is the closest). Shower worked well, the A/C worked well. One window didn't lock but we were able to secure it. Person at check-in and check-out was very nice.

Clean friendly close to beach
Clean. Needs upgrades to door and locking system. But it works. Family trip, so we spent most time at beach. Has full kitchen and fridge. Decent pool.

Did the job.
Motel is a bit dated, but was priced right for a quick 2 day trip to the shore. Despite a pool right outside our door, it was quiet at night. Very well lite in the courtyard/pool area, which made it a bit tough to sleep at night.
Dresser drawers were completely broken and sticking out, so not functional. Blinds were broken.
Room was clean, which was most important to us.
