The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants, and everything you need. The owners are very kind, friendly, and always available if you need anything. My family and I absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back!
It was a great stay! The owner of the motel was very friendly and very helpful, accommodated for a lot of things that I asked for. Will definitely book here again!
Everyone we came across was friendly. Front desk and housekeeping. The Motel was only a block away from the boardwalk. The views from the room balcony and rooftop was cool.
Owners were very helpful and a nice couple. The room had everything we need for our 3 day stay. Only complaint I would have is the tvs werent smart tvs so you couldn't use Netflix or anything like that and the pool closed at 5pm. Overall a nice stay.
My entire Family travels here yearly, my first year in my own room with kids & my sisters been coming last couple of years! This is an annual trip.
My brother, 2 sisters, mom & dad.
We all had separate rooms. All equally had a beautiful visit.
We also had a bunch of kiddos. Each and every one of us have created unforgettable memories at the ElRay ! Thank you and we will be be back
Would stay again, easy walk to the beach, the stove in the kitchen did not work, toilet would get clogged for no reason, there was steps to get to our room. It was kept clean, had a nice outdoor balcony, compared to other nearby motels this one is a top favorite

Location was a 10 we didn’t have to take the car anywhere once parked. Pool was nice and clean.
The WiFi was a struggle and the AC was a struggle.
Extremely dated, 2 outlets in the whole 2 rooms and chargers got really hot, none in the bathroom, no elevator and sketchy stairs, smoke detector was sitting on the table.
“I regularly use this app to book hotel rooms, and I usually have good experiences. However, the last hotel room I booked was terrible. I didn’t even stay there that night because there was dirt, dust, and food crumbs under the bed. I had to leave immediately. I’d like to file a complaint about this.”
This property was absolutely disgusting the bed was just a mattress on a cot there was a small foldable plastic patio table with two leather dining room chairs. The bathroom was filthy the blinds were broken the lock was hanging off the door and you can tell the molding was glued in place I seriously felt my safety was a concern
Room was clean needs updating through put hotel. Owners very nice. Air conditioner did not work at all 90 degrees in room never stay and left that night to hot.
This property was disgusting. Rooms dirty and moldy. This place needs a complete renovation. We literally checked in and had to check out. Horrible experience!
