I was a little worried with all the bad reviews but was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. At first glance it looks a little run down but you will find that the rooms are newly remodeled very clean! Plus all the staff (including the cleaners) were super nice! Right across the street from beach and near the inlet...

The room and staff were very friendly and helpful. Located just a 1/2 block from the ocean was a plus. Everything was very clean and looked new. Only set back would be the lack of breakfast. But, Sunnyside was right next door so no worries.

This place is a joke. Don't stay at this hotel or should I call it a motel. Def not a resort like they claim it to be. Booked an oceanfront room, not even close to the ocean! My view was another hotel. Don't let the rooftop terrace fool you either, nothing up there, no chairs, no nothing, not even a view unless you like looking at the surrounding hotels. Breakfast they provide is simply a joke....

This hotel was nice for the price I got it for. The facility is a little out dated but it wasn't terrible. The breakfast could certainly be improved and the elevator and ice machines need to be replaced ASAP!!!!!!! I wouldn't bring my family there though it was not very kid friendly.

We chose to stay here because of price and that it was pet-friendly, per my search parameters. When we got there they said we would have to pay more for the pet as it was NOT pet-friendly.

It's located a too far of the end of the beach for me, but it is right beside an awesome breakfast spot.The hotel offers free breakfast as well but we didn't bother to go. The bed is comfy, however the room had a odd smell when u go in. The elevator is slow but the stairs were fine. Would we stay again?...

The room itself was acceptable. However, the location was the worst. We were right next to the elevator, so it was hard to fall asleep at night. I wouldn't stay there again.

The motel has updated rooms with new mattresses, flooring and paint. The beach is right across the street with many near by stores and restaurants that are walking distance. The breakfast area is small along with the breakfast selection. The elevator is older, small and slow. Parking is tight.

I can say that I was impressed with the hotel room. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very well maintained. I was also impressed with the decor of the room. Very close to the beach which I loved. I would stay here again. The only thing was when checking in I was asked to pay an additional $15.00 due to the location of the inn which should of been disclosed at the time of booking....

My stay was great, except that we had to ask housekeeping for more towels multiple times after they didn't even clean our room in the morning since we were unaware that they came at 10AM and we asked if they would come back in 15 minutes. The wi-fi connection was also horrible.

For me, my brother and my sister, this hotel worked great. The proximity to the beach was convenient but I want to note that you cannot see the beach from your room because there is a hotel in front of the view. This hotel is across the street from the boardwalk. The cleaning staff was very nice but the man I encountered in the lobby was rude and condescending. This hotel is much like a motel,...

Worst hotel experience. Had to come home early because they ran my credit card 4 times causing a block because capital one thought it was fraud. So I give them my other card and they charged $2000 on it for a $240 stay. Had enough money to come home 2 days early.dont stay here

First, the staff gave us a room that had junk food all over, dirty toilet and unmade bed. After complaining, the next room smelled like cigarets even though i had booked a non-smoking room, dirty, untidy, and bed covers missing. The breakfast area is very small with only two tables and 4 chairs and poor breakfast. won't recommend it to...

Great place, near beach but falsely advertised and disorganized staff

The room was clean and is across the street from the beach. The housekeeping staff is a bit disorganized. The first day they came to clean at 6pm. They entered our room despite being asked to wait a minute. The second day when we returned from the beach, they had taken down the curtains from our room. No privacy without...

Great Little Inn

The Howard Johnson Inn is not oceanfront, but that doesn't stop its employees from delivering exceptional service. They offered to carry our luggage to the car, and offer a continental breakfast in the morning, which is included with your stay. There is an outdoor pool that is a little small, but other than that it is a great place to...

It was the worse experience I had at any hotel. The service I receive from upper management was unacceptable

I was given a rate of $83.16 plus tax from the online reservation...
