"The people running the motel were courteous, helpful and most pleasant."

9.0

We stayed in the room that is intended for people that fall under the ADA category. Especially the bathroom was excellent. Very roomy, easy to move around in. The shower had a build-in bench. Perfect.

Nothing, really.

Very good location near a wonderful authentic Chinese restaurant and within walking distance to the boardwalk

It’s a great property but minimal amenities although I’m not complaining because it was clean and comfortable beds and you get what you pay for
