Linda, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great bargain motel for proximity to the beach and boardwalk, with multiple decent restaurants within a 10 minute walk (Mexican place around the corner is the closest). Shower worked well, the A/C worked well. One window didn't lock but we were able to secure it. Person at check-in and check-out was very nice.
