Expedia doesn’t charge some kind of additional fee I had to pay when I got checked in. I wouldn’t complain about any fees if the experience was better. The showers never could stay on the same temperature, went from hot to cold. The rooms are outdated, stained floors and smelled musty upon arrival. The kid pool was off limits the entire stay. Another guest told me, they had it off limits all last season too. I’ve never felt more mislead and we left early!

This place is a perfect stay with kids. Right next to castaway cove yet quiet. Once inside, you hear nothing. Also steps away from the boardwalk and places to eat. Our stay was very clean. The pool was nice and well kept and the staff was helpful as well.

Very convenient in location and parking. Sometimes had to go to the lobby for more supplies. Prepared for the room to be checked every other day, but one day was right after the other (and therefore I wasn't prepared). Nice pricing, but printed receipt was a little off. Was charged an extra fee on checkin.

Motel is very old, you can smell damp. If it would cost me less then 100 $ per night, then it would be ok. But almost 400$ per night, it's tooo over priced

Disappointed After 40+ Years of Visits I’ve been coming to this hotel in OCNJ for over forty years, and it’s upsetting to see how far it’s declined. Outside the rooms, there’s a strong smell of urine, and the pool area is in poor shape — chipped, broken, and clearly neglected. We also saw people walking around the property smoking marijuana, which was disturbing and not what you’d expect in a family-friendly environment. For the cost of staying here, it should be significantly cleaner and better maintained. To be fair, the room itself was clean, the air conditioning worked well, and the carpet appeared newer. But the exterior of the property needs serious attention. Very disappointing overall. I know we’re paying for convenience and location but I was disappointed.
