Refrigerator didn’t work at first found out you have to turn knob inside it to turn on, parking was $20 that wasn’t on site when booking, and door didn’t have deadbolt or latch, wasn’t happy for security
The sheets and room were relatively clean, but there are no minimally useful curtains. The light at night is no joke, as if it was daylight, and the flimsy and broken venetians did nothing.
Being carton and tape with you.
The place is so outdated. It reminds you of something from the 70s the cracks around the doors let the cold air blow in so bad had to get extra towels to plug them. The mattress must be original to the building from 1970. The deck was so sticky outside it about pulled your shoe off. It’s a shame. The location is nice. Just needs updated.
Ants in the room. Shower curtain was half the size it needed to be. Mini blinds broken so anyone can look in the room. Overall dirty but cheap. Can't really complain bc the price. You get what you pay for.

So with this Hotel it was all about prce...i didnt need a pool or hot tub for this trip...it was all about location...could walk acroos the street to the boardwalk....could walk to numorous restiraunts...so the GOOD location...sheets were clean on the bedding..could walk not drive to many places...the BAD...no microwave....parking is very tight....the towels they have are small...i have a 32 inch waist and had to hold it in place...maid service did a poor job sweeping the room befor we got there with trash from prior people and floors could have been moped to try and remove some staining from the floor...shower curtains could be longer...seems like the bathroom floor was just as wet and could cause a slip hazard...dont get me wrong i have been in some dumps and this is not one...its a decent place to crash and allow the difference of money to cover a dinner out or two....now that the season will soon be starting they need a good maintenance person for some simple repairs and painting... and who ever they hire to clean the rooms needs to do there job. There was some light mold behind the toilet and shower ceiling...maid service could wipe the walls in trouble areas with an antimicrobial spray and wipe....use some fabuloso to mop the floors to have a sence of clean as you open the door...
