I recently stayed at this motel and, unfortunately, had a pretty disappointing experience. While the room did include an extra bed in addition to the king-size bed, which was convenient, the rest of the stay had several issues. The sink had barely any water pressure, making it hard to use. The floors were sticky and didn’t feel clean at all. On top of that, the guest staying above me was walking around and talking loudly until almost 2 a.m., which made it difficult to sleep. I also requested extra towels, but the receptionist told me that the laundry room was closed and they didn’t have access to any more towels. This was really frustrating and not what I would expect from a hospitality business. Overall, this stay was not very comfortable or restful. Would only recommend as a last resort.

The room was updated, close enough to walk to the Boardwalk and Beach! We loved the indoor pool. We felt safe, would stay here again 👍 The room was nice but smelled so strong of cleaning fumes when we arrived, super STRONG.The pillows were terrible. Next time I’ll bring my own!

We liked that it was close to the boardwalk. It was clean and well equipped. We liked the pool and spa. The TV was not working in our room and we used the chat to communicate our needs and an attendant came quickly to fix the problem.

Surf City stay

Great location, cozy rooms with kitchen available. Only downside to our stay was the cable was not working well and with the kitchen they don’t supply dishes, utensils or dish soap etc. other than that we enjoyed the pool/hot tub and mini golf/cornhole on site! We’ll definitely book again!

What a great little property! Location is everything… Close to the boardwalk and wharf for an affordable price. The indoor pool was great and we loved that there was a hot tub too. 3 beds as a family of 5 was fantastic. The rooms were nice and modern.
