There are hair on the bathtub and bedsheets. There is a very strong odor like cologne. We left the room to request different room but there is no room available. The trip is canceled.

The only problem with the hotel was that it did not look like the room had been cleaned in weeks. Luckily I kind of assumed that so I brought my own cleaning supplies and clean the entire hotel room myself with the help of my significant other. Other than that not too too bad. Not recommended for the easily squeamish. But definitely recommended for people that just want to rest their head and enjoy the Jersey Shore experience.

Property location was great, but everything was so dirty. We checked in late at about 9:30pm so didn’t want to start looking for another room at that hour. I don’t think our room was cleaned - not the bedsheets or the bathroom. It was pretty gross. Blood spots by the sink, soiled toilet lid,strong cigarette odor, knife carving on a wall,rusty refrigerator, loose door locks, sticky table surface, sloped bed, smelly bedsheets

You get what you pay for... my room had nats. The fridge didn't close. The bed has bed bug stains even tho it had bed bug covers. Shower was clogged. I went out of my own way to clean the room and disinfect it to feel atleast alittle more comfortable. I can see why they don't do refunds. They know they'll lose alot of money. Front desk was helpful but was unprofessional with language use. But what can I say you get what you paid for.

We were all afraid that the Mexican drug cartels would bust in the door at any moment. The building could not possibly been up to code. The door had been kicked in (more than once) and never properly repaired. Smoke alarm inop. CO alarm inop. One tv Chanel in Spanish. I have slept in better places while fighting in Iraq.

I normally don't leave bad reviews on any place; but, I do feel I must do it this time... because I don't want others to come to this place and experience the same level of dissapointment as I did... dirty, old, a TV from the 70s (big black box in the back of it), no remote controls, broken blinds, moldy tubs... This place needs major upgrades. For the amount of money it costs; I think they can do a lot better. Not expecting a 4-5 star service; but, you can at least reach a "two star level". This place is not even a half-star at this moment.

The saying goes “you get what you pay for” but at almost $200 a night, you think you’d be getting a little more than what was offered. We were unable to deadbolt our door, which would’ve been useful when someone started pounding on our door at 2:00AM. The bathroom… tiles were broken, the door didn’t close properly, no proper ventilation, shower did not drain, sink was outside of the bathroom. The entire room smelt of mold/mildew. The floors were covered in condensation upon arrival. The TV was completely outdated, on top of the fact the cable bill wasn’t paid, so we could not drown the neighbors noise that was on going until midnight. Overall I give this place a negative rating. -3 out of 10.

Total dump with a good location.
The location to the boardwalk is great, and Seaside is a fun town. So if you just need a place to keep your crap and sleep, this is a place where you could do that. As for the room, pretty nasty, I have attached a picture of the tub which we debated whether it was dried blood or rust at the bottom. The towel rack was ripped off the wall. The walls are so thin that you can hear everyone doing everything, as well as the seagulls outside the room. There were also some homeless people milling about the place. If you are a light sleeper or a germophobe, keep looking. If you just need walls, AC, and a bed, it has those. The pool, oddly enough, seemed nice and clean.

Obviously this is not a fancy place; it’s an economy motel and certainly isn’t the nicest. Although it could certainly be described as “sketchy” my group had fun and would go back. The staff was nice and It’s close to the beach.
