  • Overall: Rating of 1.5 out of 5

    "Wouldn't recommend it to anyone." source Priceline

    "Being from this area I know what hotel rooms go for; I felt that we got a good price for a good hotel." source Travelocity

    "Overall, a good bargain in the off-season or when discounts are in effect; avoid otherwise." source Expedia

    "We turmed in our room keys at that time and went to the Ramada Limited which we highly recommend." source Travelocity

    "I will not recommend it or stay there again." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 1.8 out of 5

    "The rooms were very tiny, did not offer enough towels (no face towels), the furniture was shoddy, and the rooms were not clean (actually, the whole property was unclean." source Hotels.com

    "Room was clean and location was great, had fridge & Wi-Fi. Rooms were clean but had strange odor." source Priceline

    "Why it was there in the first place is a mystery in and of itself, but how in the world the cleaning staff missed it is beyond me." source Travelocity

    "Clean but stained bath towels - towel bar missing - no tissue in the dispenser - no batteries in the TV remote- no mattress cover or fitted sheets." source Hotels.com

    "The beds were lumpy, the room was sad and dingy and the bathroom was as clean as a severly dilapidated facility could be." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 2.3 out of 5

    "This hotel was affordable in town and had excellent service and clean rooms." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 2.7 out of 5

    "I checked into the hotel and checked out five minutes later after seeing my room and smelling the area around it, which was covered in flies." source Hotels.com

    "Going by another review I read about this location, I choose this hotel in error. I personally would not walk the 5 blocks to the boardwalk from this location because it was a little further than I had expected." source Travelocity

    "The hotel was in a questionable neighborhood located on a loud, busy intersection with a 7-elevan store located across the street that always had groups of people hanging out." source Travelocity

    "Unsafe neighborhood, some room doors looked like they'd been kicked in and damaged, very dirty, graffiti on outside walls, much farther to the boardwalk than stated." source Travelocity

    "This hotel was great for its price and location." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 1.5 out of 5

    "Run down, paint peeling, the bare necessities in rooms, nothing more." source Priceline

    "Although I believe it was cleaned, it did not have the appearance because the room was old and needed to be updated." source Travelocity

    "IÂ’d only stay here again if the room was so cheap I didnÂ’t expect much of anything. The room and the entire hotel was worse for the wear." source Expedia

    "The room was so small I had to lift my bag over the bed to get it into the bathroom." source Travelocity

    "The room was dingy and REEKED of cigarette smoke." source Travelocity
