Lovely little motel
Check in was a breeze. I was asked if there was anything else I needed. When I made a request, it was handled immediately. The room was very clean. There was no smoke smell in the room. Nobody smoking anything in the vicinity. Plenty of parking. The room had a huge handicap accessible bathroom. Plenty of room for a wheelchair straight into the shower. Showerhead was removable for someone in a wheelchair. It was very quiet. Bed was comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is a printed channel guide. I will stay there again when I'm in the area.

First night, we checked in pretty late. We got all set up in our room, went to plug our phones in for the night and none of the outlets worked, we went to go to bed and the top middle of the bed frame was broken. My husband and I felt like we were in a taco, and our feet were higher than our head. In the morning we told Management and they said they’d have someone fix it between 10AM and 11AM. We got back to our room on what is now night 2 roughly 5:30PM and the bed is still broken. I went to the front desk again they switched our room. We went to bed early because we had fished all day and at 9:30PM management sent maintence to bang our door like the police so we would call the front desk. My husband calls the front desk and he was questioned about us charging our boat (I had called before going here to make sure it was ok and was told there’s outlets outside and we could plug it in) then proceeded to try and get us to pay an extra $25 a night to charge our boat. It’s an “additional service”. While discussing that my husband mentioned they never fixed the bed in the first room and management said they were just going to extend our stay .. which makes no sense you should probably ask people if you can extend and why would someone want an extended stay in a room with a broken bed? Night 3 we ended up fishing into the morning hours and when we got back to our room our key wasn’t active to get into our room. Had to go to the front desk, they had to reactivate it. Nightmare.

Great bang for your buck
Excellent value. Inexpensive without compromising cleanliness. Close to South Amboy Station. Pillows needed updating and only 2 provided. Walls are a little thin, but it wasn’t too loud. Definitely recommend this place if you’re on a budget.
