Just went down for the night and this was a very convenient place to stay. Close to everything I was interested in and a comfortable enough place to spend the night.
This was a very well done relatively inexpensive Jersey shore motel property and perfect for our one night stay. Nothing fancy. Easy walk to beach and boardwalk.
Adorable little shore hotel near the boardwalk & beach. All the necessities, comfortable bed, and a pool. The lady who checked us in was wonderful- so friendly and helpful. We will be back.
Perfect location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool is very nice. Beds were comfortable. A little older of a motel and parking is tight but overall wonderful for the price. Cannot beat it.
Great location. Very close to boardwalk. Room was small, but clean. Its a charming older place.

Affordable, clean, nice pool, comfortable bed. All staff are helpful.
The shower was tiny, the lighting over the stove and sink didn't work, and there was only one outlet in the bedroom. It needs fresh paint and upgrading.
All the staff and people we interacted with were kind and helpful. Room was clean and in a convention location close to the beach and downtown. Everything was within walking distance.
My boyfriend and I came to ocean city new jersey for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. Thw sifting sands was a great place to stay. The room was spacious and clean, the staff were super nice and helpful, and the pool was amazing. We were two blocks from the boardwalk. There are plenty of shopping and food places so close by. We are definitely staying here again next year!

This was very nice the only thing lacking was an outdoor shower to wash sand off which would have been appreciated
Seemed to be pet-friendly. Room 2 was small, but clean. Shower was tight, and the door didn't stay shut unless you locked it from inside the shower. Overall, for a place to lay my head for a night, it was good. Small, dorm-sized fridge, two-burner "range", so it was nice to have a "full kitchen" if I wanted to cook my own food instead of eating out.
Last minute two day trip. Convenient location, very walkable to beach and boardwalk, as well as shopping in Asbury. It was nice having a room with a kitchenette and mini fridge.
