“Its a dump and not worth the money to be close to boardwalk.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Deluxe Room (2 Adults + 1 Child)
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Worst dump we've ever stayed in. Blue side is dump hotel, brown side is for drug addict welfare low income housing people (poop filled diaper babies running around and smokers on porch included!). Garbage everywhere. Disgusting rooms. Front desk family who lives there are nice but clearly don't care. Cheapest breakfast bread and cereal they could buy...probably with food stamps. Not worth even 10% of what I paid for close to boardwalk parking! NOT WORTH IT! YOU WILL REGRET IT!

눉The bed was awful and the pillows were a cruel joke. The shower drain was clogged so it felt like you were standing in a very deep puddle. There was very little ventilation, so the room was hot and muggy.
눇It is close to the Boardwalk and the beach.

눉See above
눇Breakfast was terrible. Loaf of bread was opened, dig in and toast. Cereal and juice and coffee. Only did the first morning after that we got our own things. Location is good, right across the muni parking lot is the boardwalk. Parking is tough. Street parking is free from 8 PM to 8 AM. If you move your car in the afternoon you usually will not get a spot in their parking lot, so to the street. It's just an old motel with 3 stories and paper thin walls. You can hear different conversations at once. Beds are not good. Our room was not very well cleaned. Friends told us theirs was? No elevator. If you are on the 2ndfloor you can park in the alley behind. 3rd floor start hauling. Alley was a little rough, I didn't want to leave our car there. Staff was wonderful, but it is hard to please with such an old place. We booked 4 nights and left after 2. Went one block back and one block over to the Comfort Inn, which is also older, but wonderful. Parking is also a little bit of a problem over there also. Like I said, staff and location at the AB was great, but would never stay there again!😟

Very Poor
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉I'm traveling a lot and it was my worst experience. Firstly, price was a bit expensive ($280) for tiny room with queen size bed in 2 stars hotel. Secondly, first impression about room wan't good: dusty, dirty ceiling and shower (see photos). But it's ok for me. Then we found out that ac doesn't work (it was 110f outside and 95f inside!). We told staff about it. During the 4 hours one guy tried to fixed it - he came to room, did some stuff and promised that ac will work in 30min, but ac still not working... And then this guy disappear. So after 4 hours unbearable heat we decided leave hotel and get our money back... But manager was out from town and offered us only 50% refund (by phone) and we have to leave the room. For what we should pay?! Then manage told us that we are lying about the ac - it was so impudence... I'm wondering how that hotel still exist with this manager??? So we called to boocking to told about this situation, but when boocking's employee called to that hotel - staff told that they are fixed this situation, ac is working (it was lie). Finally after 5 hours nervous conversations we received our money back and left this terrible place.
눇Hard to say
