Great location and exactly what we needed.

Very happy with this motel and location. It’s a motel! Don’t expect 5star but as far as everything we needed it was great. Friendly staff, parking on premise, rooms perfectly sized for our family. I’ll definitely consider this place first next time we visit Seaside Heights.

Amazing stay! Staff super friendly, very close to boardwalk, clean and spacious room, felt very safe, bed bug covers, microwave, fridge, etc. Owner let us park there when we got there at 10am even though we couldn’t check in until 3pm. Our one night here was great and we will definitely be back!

The hotel manager and staff were wonderful, really demonstrated an actual concern to address any issues that enabled us to have a wonderful stay. The queen studio was a nice size, separate bedroom from the kitchen/living room. Would stay here again.
