Pools were nice and plenty of loung chairs/umbrellas but would be great if one of the bigger pools was adult only (or at least part of the time). Paddywagon transportation service is great! Rooms were super basic, no decor, hole in the wall between the bathroom outlet and wall board, one window so dirty couldn't see out of it, and the door for the room next to us squeaked loudly every time opened and closed which woke us up in the mornings. Areas of the property also need upkeep - peeling paint, areas in need of powerwashing. For the high price they are charging would expect more pristine condition! Also there are add on fees/taxes on top of already high prices.

Beware of hidden charges. They call themselves as a resort to charge resort feed, even if you stay at the motel side. Their motel rooms were no better than any other motels along the ocean. You are better off staying at other motels and avoid the resort fees. They even charge $25 to make your bed.

We actually left the hotel and did not stay here due to the room being horrible and they wouldn’t do anything to help us. We also didn’t have 1 parking space due to people illegally parking in their lot and so we had to pay the price. Absolutely horrendous ruined our holiday weekend. Stay away!

A typical Jersey shore location

Average for the shore. Below average for anywhere else. Pros: private beach, pool, restaurant on site, quick walk to the boardwalk games. Cons: there was an attempt to update features in the room but it still like a cheap Jersey shore motel (bathroom where the door hits the toilet, loud ac that needs to be on at all times to keep the smell away, 80s fixtures in the bathroom, deck that was in desperate need of repainting), WiFi didn’t work, overpriced for what you are getting.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a truly comfortable and relaxing experience. The bed was incredibly cozy — one of the best hotel beds I’ve slept in! The cleanliness throughout the room and common areas was excellent, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is also fantastic — close to everything yet peaceful enough to feel like a true getaway. One suggestion for improvement: it would be great if the hotel could designate one of the pools and one or two buildings for families with children, and keep another pool and building exclusively for adults. During our stay, there were quite a few kids running along the walkways, knocking on doors, and even hitting them, which disrupted the otherwise serene environment. A small change like this could enhance the experience for all types of travelers. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and I’d definitely return — especially if they implement that simple separation to better accommodate both families and adults seeking peace and quiet.
