Been coming back here for some holiday weekends and other weekends though out the summers since July 2014.
I've been here often enough where the staff knows me every time I show up, and have had friends of mine booking rooms for themselves.
Yes, no thrills motel. Bring your own shower stuff, but why is that an issue when the staff is beyond friendly and will always make you feel comfortable by striking up a convo with you. Grounds, rooms, and pool are clean, and staff accommodating; free parking on site and free beach passes. Less than 10 min walk to the END of the boardwalk, and another 10 min peaceful stroll along the boardwalk to hit the rides and major bars. Who cares, its summer, enjoy the weather and walk!
FOOD: There is a breakfast/lunch spot - I'm a Local Beach Cafe. They open early but get there fast and enjoy your peaceful breakfast at an outside table. GREAT food btw! Also try The Patio Bar a 2 min walk from the small road behind the hotel. OR, just ask the staff. You have a boardwalk full of options!
Just booked my stay for next month!
