The staff was very friendly and the rooms were very clean. Not gonna lie, because of limited photos we thought we were staying in a roach motel, but it was the complete opposite. Would book again.

Ocean view!
This hotel had a great location close to beach and nice pool. We had view of ocean, beautiful! Staff was friendly and efficient, room nicely decorated in nautical theme. We did not cook but there was electric stovetop in room as well as coffeemaker, microwave, and fridge. Also places to grill and tables near pool.

Stayed for one night. Found room not cleaned properly. Also, towels were thrown on top of the toilet tank instead of on the rack in the bathroom. Unhappy with stay, would not go back.

The hotel is located across from a park and a very short walk to the beach. It is an older modest property but clean. Problems: The WiFi signal was weak and intermittent. The refrigerator was not working. The AC (a wall unit) was loud.

The Manager was absolutely pleasant! We had a 3 night 4 day stay in the “Penthouse” suit which was 2 bedrooms 2 bath, a kitchenette, and 2 living rooms.
The space needs an absolute remodel. The beds only had bedsheets with no fitted sheets and while the beds were comfy, the comforter and sheets were not comfortable and spending just a tad extra time on this and the outdated furnishings would truly make a huge impact.
The second thing is that there are 2 living rooms, which make zero sense the couches no one wanted to sit on

I went for memorial day weekend with my sister. The staff were unprofessional. They even tried to get me to cancel my expedia booking and book through them for more money. Right upon arrival, they called me none stop and said they needed to move me to the property next door. I didn't knew what that was all about. When we arrived they said there was a "plumbing issue". They also claimed my debit card was declined when they tried to ran it...Although I did not get any declined notifications on my card either because of travel or any other security reasons. I am sure I had more than enough money for my travels. They wanted us to pay in cash. We were actually okay with that since it was going to be cheaper. Anyways, these people were sketchy.
I am pretty sure they just had a random vacancy with the next door because the big family property booked the lot of the hotel, They also asked me inappropriate questions about my service dog. They asked me "what does your service dog do". Even though that is an illegal question to ask a person with their service dog. Told me the service dog can not go into the pool area even though it is a service dog. I know it was memorial day weekend but there was a loud family that stayed there. They partied late into the AM being loud and hugging up the pool.
I liked that the location was nice between cape may and wildwood which we wanted. The parking was convenient with plenty of parking spots.
