"Close to the pier and Times Square. All the rooms had an ocean view. Our room was attractive, clean, and well-kept. Staff was friendly and helpful. The free hot breakfast was a big perk. An extra nicety was the availability of ice water and coffee in the lobby. We'd stay at this hotel again.2015-03-11"

"The motel room was modern but basic; I had to ask for a hair dryer, and there were no hangers in the closet. Check-in was at 3 PM, but I had to wait until 4 for a room to be cleaned.2021-02-04"
"Close to beaches and shops. The motel was nice, new, and clean. However, the sink was clogged, and despite reporting it twice to the front desk, nothing was done about it during our 4-day stay. I hated washing my hands and brushing my teeth in the bathtub. Still, I recommend staying here.2019-01-19"
"Not worth the price. The room wasn't that clean, and there were no liners in the trash cans. I was disappointed.2016-05-05"
