Overall, a great stay. Let me start with a few nitpicks: No elevator, small beetle on the bed when we arrived, outdoor pool temp was too hot, pillows hard and too big for my taste, one of two rooms we had had a musty smell upon arrival. That's about it for the negatives. The positives: Staff is outstanding, friendly hardworking... More

The Econo Lodge feels like a motel. The room had a funky smell. The sheets were super stiff. Besides that it is in a great location (there was a movie on the beach right in front of our hotel), there are free bikes to use (!!!), a small but free breakfast, and nice people at the front desk.

The previous reviewer "A budget gem" really summed it all up great, but I wanted to add a few things. We stayed the week before Memorial Day weekend and the staff seemed to constantly be working to clean and get things ready for the big weekend. Changing lamp shades that really didn't seem to be in disrepair; hosing off the... More

Stayed at this site for a week. Have stayed at other budget hotels (including Econo Lodges) and know that they can be hit or miss with quality. THIS SITE IS DIFFERENT and as desribed by other Trip Advisor reviews. Very friendly staff, well maintained hotel. PERFECT for budget travelers who want a nice place to stay. No wild parties. Surrounded... More

We were pleased with the cleanliness of the room and comfortable beds. Housekeeping were thorough and nice. Coffee was a bit strong for my taste but standard continental breakfast with cereals, bagels, muffins, etc., were fresh. Convenient location with upscale shops just a few blocks up the street and the standard beach shops down the street.

We stayed here three years ago and found it to be clean and quiet with ocean front views and easy access to the boardwalk. When planning a return trip I made sure to add them to my list of options of hotels. When seeing the rates were about the same across the board, I decided to stick with what I... More

I looked at 20+ hotels on the beach for my weekend trip. I used several comparison websites and review sites before booking. I kept finding great reviews about this hotel and they were right. Reviews of just about any other industry are hit or miss, but when booking a hotel, I strongly advise that you take other folks' word. This... More

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel location is excellent being right on the boardwalk and just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The rooms are nice and the staff very friendly. I too was kind of skeptical since there are some very nice looking hotels on both sides of the Econo Lodge but... More

I don't normally give all five stars to anything because there is always room for improvement or there is always something you can nit-pick. But I'm breaking my own rule this time. On our way to see our oldest daughter in D.C., I needed a place about halfway up the coast from where we live in Florida. We have dear... More

Everything about my visit was awesome. I'm a teacher and stayed during part of my Spring Break. I just lost my mother and needed some time to reflect. This was the place. From the crisp clean sheets, friendly staff, price, simplicity at it's best with an oceanfront room! I couldn't have found a better spot. My one day visit turned... More
