Guest Reviews
- Banks (1/5): I would not recommend advertising this establishment. - Nothing. Everything. For two adults there was only one wash cloth. Floors was gritty, furniture outdated and the linen smelt like an old basement. You barely had space to use the toilet.
- Aikhiem (5/5): -
- M (1/5): This place needs to be torn down. - Location. Parking. Cheap. Nothing. Our room was dirty. The switches on the lights were broken. The bathroom was disgusting. Took 30mins of running water until you got hot water and not much water came of the shower head. There were holes in the sheets and burn hole in the comforter. The place smelled. The floors were dirty. The walls were cracked.
- Sean (1/5): I was unable to check in because the reception was closed despite the open sign being on. The lights were off, and no on - I was unable to check in because the reception was closed despite the open sign being on. The lights were off, and no one answered the phone.

- Williams (10/5): - Great

- Rogers (5/5): -
- Jeffery (8/5): -

- Christopher (1/5): Worst motel experience I've ever had. - Nothing. Horrible experience. Dirty, dusty rooms with mouse droppings everywhere, including the bed. Heat didn't work. Furniture was broken.
- Erica (10/5): -
- Nathan (10/5): -
- Amy (4/5): It was doable - I liked the location, and how cold the AC was The room was really small
- Yvonne (7/5): - The price for the stay was perfect. The staff was very nice and always helpful. Refrigerator was sufficient size for use. No shower caddy, no towel racks, no shelf in bathroom for toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, hair supplies, etc). Pool didn't seem to be cleaned regularly. Ice dispenser had scoop that is touched by everyone (unsanitary).
- Autumn (10/5): -
- John (5/5): -

- Brhane (8/5): -

- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Tony (1/5): Five day booking day left after three nights could not take the conditions. - Cockroaches in room, dust, mites, and hair underneath the bed smell like urine throughout the room Absolutely nothing
- Soufiane (1/5): - Nothing the actual conditions were entirely different from what was advertised at the time of booking. The room I was given was in unacceptable and unsafe condition. It was visibly dirty with hair and food from previous guests, had mold on the ceiling, foul odors, and showed signs of pests (bed bugs). Appliances and fixtures were broken or missing including a nonfunctioning fridge, and no TV remote. The deadbolt on the door was broken. There were stains on the bedding and overall, the room was unsanitary and unsafe to occupy.
When I brought these concerns to the staff, I was initially refused a room change. By the time this refusal was given it was late in the evening, and I had no choice but to leave the property altogether and find different accommodation.
- Austyn (4/5): - The bathroom window didnât have any curtains or blinds so people could see you if they wanted.
- Muhammad (10/5): -
- Tina (8/5): Good for the price - Close to everything. Price was fair Room kinda small and not many outlets
- Elizabeth (10/5): It was a good deal for the great stay - I loved the location The bathroom shower head
- Ali (5/5): -
- Terrance (1/5): We never stay at this property again. - Nothing about this place was good. Lopsided floor in the room no microwave in the room no ESPN on the TV.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Shelby (1/5): Would not stay again, gross. - Convenient location Facilities were absolutely disgusting. Walked in right after checking in and there was sand on the floor (yes, I understand it is a motel at the beach). Overall just not clean. There was black mold on the ceiling. The inside of the dresser drawers were full of dirt and grime. Towels had stains all over them. Bottom of the shower curtain was red, from blood?
- Mark (1/5): Was good other than the disgusting hotel. - It was close to the beach thatâs it. It was dirty. The room was dirty, bathroom had mold, tv didnât work, most of the stations were frozen. There was garbage in behind the building, old siding etc left in a pile, the AC quit the second day. The outlet in the room was an extension cord as the outlet in the wall didnât work. There were dirty towels in the bathroom . This place is disgusting.
- Kimberly (8/5): Good stay. Very nice people - AC was great. Bed was comfortable. Cable kept going out. Remote control didn't work
- Rivian (7/5): -
- Dale (8/5): -
- haddaway (8/5): I liked the Cabana so much , I stayed for 10 weeks -
- Roxanne (10/5): -
- Destiny (1/5): Went to check in later in the night when I got into town. The lobby was closed and locked and no one answered the phone - Nothing They did not answer the phone for me to check in
- Thamara (5/5): -
- John (10/5): Very comfy and wonderful stay! - Great price, comfy and convenient place to stay! N/A
- Melody (7/5): It was okay. If u need a cheap spot, in summer. But summer rates for this place are outrageous for the building, and sp - Location was great!! Pool was nice but it was cold outside so it was closed. Management not available after 6pm. Winter has people living thereâŚ. Makes u a bit uncomfortable. Bathroom was very small with broken window.
- Ray (7/5): - No one came around to clean room, had to use one towel to shower all week.
- Theresa (10/5): Excellent is all I can say - Nice and quiet, comfortable and the desk attendant upgraded us to a king bed instead of queen bed and charged us the same price as the queen bed. I liked everything about it and would like to go again very reasonably priced.
- Chelsey (4/5): -
- Russell (5/5): -
- Wray (8/5): - Cleaning of rooms a little better. Back walls of beds and between mattresses and walls.
- Jessica (1/5): Will never stay here again. Very disappointed. Very unclean - They allowed early check-in The room wash filthy. The bed sheets were dirty. The bathroom towels were dirty. One of the towels was a shop towel. The floors were covered in dirt. There was an outlet behind the dresser that didnât have a cover on it that looked like a rodent was chewing around as there was drywall on the floor below. Also heard rodents in the wall. The air conditioner was very dirty and was plugged into a big orange extension cord that laid beside the bed. There were no outlets beside the bed for ease of access. The only open outlet was halfway up the wall by the bathroom door. No outlets in the bathroom. The mini fridge was very dirty. The curtains on the window were falling but also the wrong size so couldnât be closed 100%. The bathroom window was covered in dead bugs. The bathroom looked like it had recently been updated but was not clean. The drain in the shower wasnât flush to the floor and rusty. Shoes were definitely necessary the entire time in the room. It was festival weekend otherwise I would have requested a refund and left. There were no vacancies available. Definitely nothing like advertised.
- Gabriela (7/5): -
- brinker (4/5): Needs to be updated - Location Bathroom window didn't close and had no screen there was also black mold in bathroom.
- Matthew (8/5): - Parking was safe and lots of choices around
- Robert (10/5): -
- Ashbrook (9/5): -
- Allison (5/5): Super convenient location, did the job for the purpose of our trip, but would try to avoid this place in the future. - Location Very outdated. Bed wasnât very comfortable, towels were obviously old (stained), bathroom was clean but outdated and everything overall was worn out. Also had a musky smell.
- Jeff (8/5): - ...
- Rachel (8/5): - Hotel is in a good location. It seems a bit dated and old but was clean and convenient.
- Corinne (10/5): -
- Travis (4/5): - Choosing this hotel was a last minute decision and chosen by price. That being said, I was not impressed by Cabana Motel. The sheets were dirty, the floor was cracked and dirty, the ceiling tiles were sagging and had water spots, the outlets were broken, and the smoke detector didnât even have batteries in it. I stayed for 3 nights and each night I could hear something moving in the ceiling. Once it moved fast enough to shift a ceiling tile. The shower was very sensitive and the slightest adjustment would go from freezing to boiling. Anytime someone flushed the toilet from another room the shower went blazing hot. This stay was an adventure but by far the worst experience Iâve ever had.
- Rebecca (5/5): Convenient location, needs updating - The location was close to the boardwalk, restaurants, mini golf and also not too far of a walk to the music festival we were in town for. The manager was friendly. The lobby was clean and parking was included. The towels and soap were plentiful and the beds were comfortable. It is perfect for a place to crash and have a bed and shower. The property needs maintenance. The wooden planks for the stairs and outside the room are warped and splintered and pull up when you walk in them. The light fixtures in the bathroom need to be replaced and there is graffiti scratched into the windows from the salt build up. Although it added charm, itâs meant for just a place to crash not anything to spend time in.
- Lisa (8/5): Stellar service - Location was great - close to everything. The property isnât in great condition and the linens werenât new (some stains), but it was functional for what we needed. The service though - exceptional. The owner, Anil, and Natasha went above and beyond to accommodate our late arrival and early departure times. Incredibly kind people. They made the whole stay worthwhile.
- Emily (10/5): - Honestly surprised by the negative reviews -- lovely staff, easy check in (very helpful with our special requests). It's a cheap motel so as long as you don't go in expecting something else, it's great
- Cornelia (4/5): Set your expectations low and know youâre getting what you paid for. It is no frills in a convenient location. - Proximity to music festival Old, outdated and small.
- Sherdonald (1/5): Small dirty ,moldy bathroom. - Nothing what so ever Nothing
- Marker (5/5): - Hot water
Cold air The bathroom was run down
Mold
Rust
Rot
- Dean (7/5): - The location was great. The restaurant and shopping nearby was really good. Steps from the boardwalk. The price was phenomenal. No amenities. No towels or washcloth. No iron.
- Khalif (8/5): - Bed was comfortable
- Ashbrook (8/5): - Very good location and very affordable
- Brenda (1/5): Worst motel experience - Location You had to ask to have the room cleaned. Couldn't get washcloths for 3 days - cleaning people were off 2 days on a row. No chairs, table, or microwave in room, friends had all in there room. Only one hook to hang towels. Mirror was crooked - couldn't straighten - and looked like they cleaned it with a dirty rag. Office only open 9-8. If you needed anything, you had to wait until morning. Wouldn't send an enemy to stay there.
- Adam (10/5): -
- lisa (5/5): - Close to beach Needed repairs
- Goodling (10/5): We like to relax and are able to do that here -
- Barbara (6/5): -
- Crystal (8/5): - Location, pool Room was over all clean but the bathroom could be updated a little. We also did have a mouse in our room
- Justin (10/5): -
- Carpenter (8/5): - YA
- Emily (4/5): You get what you pay for - The man checking us in was wonderful. The good things ended there. Between finding a hair claw/clip on the bed that wasn't mine, what appeared to be black mold on the walls in the bathroom, and the fact that we didn't have toilet paper or even a toilet paper HOLDER on the wall in the bathroom. I am never one to care where I stay when I just need somewhere to sleep, but even I cared this time. Nothing was overtly disgusting, but I still slept on top of the sheets with my beach towel as a blanket. Thankfully it was just one night. After 40 years in OCMD I finally found a place I won't stay again.
- Eric (6/5): -
- Dawn (2/5): - Place needs a major upgrade. No smoke detector in the room, floor was dirty, mold on several ceiling tiles, some unidentifiable mold covered thing growing on a baseboard, fridge wasn't cold and had rust on the door, a/c worked when it felt like it and had a "clean filter" light on, office staff was not available to check out when we left at 9:00am
- Mahider (4/5): - There were still items from previous guests in the room, even though it was "cleaned". Sheets and towels had stains, and an extra sheet we requested even had clumps of hair. Air conditioning also had problems. The staff were nice and had good customer service
- jason (8/5): - Showers
- Iris (2/5): I would never recommend this place for the price they charge. Itâs not worth it. - There was no breakfast included. in the area, it was OK. The rooms had roaches I had to kill a couple of them the floor look kind of dirty the bathrooms they need to really use elbow grease to become white the bathtubs because they look dirty. I would not recommend this place to no one. Iâm so sorry. I feel very uncomfortable Very very dirty. I move the bed. It was nothing but just pile up behind the beds the ruffle from the bed they all look dirty. It was not good not even chairs to give you to sit in front of your porch. Nothing I had to go and search for a bucket for ice and cups in the office. They need to clean the towels a little bit more once you wet them they look dingy gray instead of white. I just donât understand. I had to take a shower with sandals. They have the most ridiculous TV. Youâre gonna change the channel. it reads it allow youâre gonna lower the volume. It reads it out loud volume down volume down come on now Very annoying. Thatâs why I gave her a number two rating. I did not stay at the hotel. I was there, but I stood outside all day and just went to sleep. I had to switch to three rooms because one of the rooms smell like pee or pee the second one the light was not working at all no electricity then I had to wind up staying in room 31 thatâs the third room and I had to look for buckets for ice and cups and everything nothing they didnât supply anything.
- Dejen (4/5): - You've been warned.
- Marcus (4/5): - Needs better maintenance and better cleaning very outdated.
- Nicholas (7/5): -
- Mary (1/5): Room looks nothing like the photos online! Donât stay here. Dirty. - Close to the boardwalk and the king size bed was comfortable The room looked NOTHING like the photos online. Obvious prior water damage, ceiling bowed, outlets not working, mirror randomly fell off the wall, mini refrigerator and tv were plugged in together on the same extension cord to one outlet, only 1 lamp worked, no one cleaned the room until we told them about the mirror falling (even then all the did was fix the mirror, gave us fresh towels and changed out the trash). Only gave us 1 roll of toilet paper to last 4 days (thankfully we brought our own), only 2 towels, 1 wash cloth and 2 hand towels to last days (again thankfully we brought our own), floor by the door slanted, one outlet that did work had the mattress pressed up against it with the one lamp plugged into it (how is this not a fire risk), room was advertised to have a microwave (it didnât but other rooms did), and we couldnât check out until 9am because thatâs when the staff finally arrived. We wanted to leave to head on our 6 hour drive at 7:30am. Hopefully no one ever has a family emergency and need to leave before 9am. I wonât stay here again.
- Christopher (10/5): - Place was great. Will stay again for sure.
- Lawrence (6/5): -
- Susan (4/5): Floors need a good cleaning No smoke detector black mold on ceiling A/C filter needed cleaned light was on - The price was good and 2 night stay was good The room needs a very good cleaning and outside needs swept up cigarette butts
- Andy (4/5): Its okay - It was okay for a hotel like this but definitely needs some basic upgrades to the room, needs better cleaning as there was mold on ceiling.
- Ryan (2/5): - Location, staff was pleasant The bed was extremely uncomfortable, the floors still had sand on them when i frost walked in, the shower walls still had hair, the fridge leaked, all in all it looked it an investor bought a turd and didn't complete polishing the turd. The shower didn't have a place to put soap or shampoo
- Ines (4/5): - Needs some updating itâs a bit outdated
- Karen (5/5): It was a great time - The staff was fabulous and they made great coffee! It was a great location and the pool was good đ The mattresses were not comfortable
- Breann (6/5): -
- Gutierrez (5/5): -
- Sharon (2/5): - I liked that this property was close to the boardwalk & beach. For how much the rooms cost I didn't like sleeping on stained linens, also had broken off toilet lid in my double bed room, and didn't see a handle for bathtub water, had to only use shower. and some cable channels would get stuck in scramble mode. My family Did't like the small TVs in the King rooms. Could do better, and with the high price of this property could go down when other properties go down.
- Lee (1/5): We have came across mold within the bathroom and underneath the bed. we asked to move rooms and we was denied cause ther - a good location for the boardwalk and beach somewhat out of traffic way the cleanliness of the place
- Joseph (2/5): - This was one of the worst hotel experiences Iâve ever had.
Black mold in various spots, especially in the bathroom.
Unsafe furniture with screws sticking out â I cut my foot on one.
The first night was $150. When we went to extend for a second night, the manager suddenly demanded $400 for the same room. We left.
I accidentally left my backpack under the bed with my MacBook and iPad inside. When I called, the staff was dismissive and never returned my calls.
I drove back, scanned for the devices, and confirmed they were still there. The manager acted very suspicious. Only after hours of persistence and mentioning police involvement did another staff member quietly hint at where my bag was, which eventually led me to recover it.
During this process, I overheard staff speaking English with each other, but when I confronted them about my missing bag they suddenly pretended not to understand me. This was clearly an attempt to avoid responsibility.
Between the mold, unsafe conditions, and dishonest handling of my belongings, this place is both dangerous and shady. I chose not to file a police report only because I wanted to focus on my family vacation, but in my opinion, this was attempted theft.
The manager has a unique facial feature and actually lives at the hotel. Do not trust this guy or his staff.
Stay far away from Cabana Hotel.
- Kebila (9/5): Good customer service. - I like the property. Location is very convenient and right there. Only few minutes walk to the Ocean beach front and boardwalk. Also very close to amenities and food. The only reason Iâm holding back one star out of 10 is because my room had no microwave and the TV had just one channel and it was a Chinese channel. Thanks. Kebila/Ruth Fonkem and Family. The property is clean and staff very friendly.
- TIffanie (8/5): - Great location in walking distance to many things and beach. Room was clean, very small. It is a motel, so low expectations. Bed was very hard. Water pressure was low but made it all work. Front desk gentleman was very nice and helpful. Bed was very hard. Water pressure is very low. But made it all work.
