Empress Motel

Room Was so stinky, smelled very old and is very outdated. Needs renovation from everything. Beds, pillows, tables, microwave, chairs. Toilet was dirty not well clean and someone knocking on our door when we had the broken and ripped do not disturb sign on the door. Before check out time, we couldn't see who it was because there's no hole on the door. It was reasonable price but not a good stay the smell was horrible and it gave me allergies. Only good thing was close to the boardwalk. The owner of this motel owns motels around that area but is not fixing it. I won't be staying here again.

Positive: It's close to the beach and boardwalk. Negative: The room smelt like mildew and I had issues breathing in the room. It's the carpet. The TV did not work and the bed was very uncomfortable. The shower curtain had mold on it and im allergic to mold. The wifi did not work.

Even though I had read several positive reviews I was still pleasantly surprised. The lady at the front desk was nice and the room was very clean. Even though our room was on the first floor near the pool, we didn't hear much noise. We really enjoyed the pool. My only gripe is that there aren't a lot of electrical outlets to use but that is to be expected with an older place and we made it work with what we had. We are already thinking we will stay here again next year. We were very very pleased with our stay and will definitely recommend.

I'll start out by saying this is not a luxury motel by any means. If you are looking for top tier because you plan on spending a majority of your vacation in your room, then look elsewhere. However, if you are balling on a budget like us and looking for something cost efficient to put your stuff down, shower, change and sleep that's also conveniently located 1 minute from the beach/boardwalk; Look no further! The motel is dated and is a more run down beach side motel. The rooms were a bit dirty (they could definitely use a deep clean) and our bathroom had mold growing on the ceiling because there is no type of ventilation for the condensation. On the plus side, room was pretty spacious, fridge kept our drinks nice and cold, AC was ice cold and felt great after a hot day on the beach.

Pool area is not clean, trash, used condom in the pool area. Friend had water come thru the ceiling in the bathroom. Rug all wet. Was told we needed to wait for the Manager. We were in the office 3 times. Last time we went over he was in the back office. Never came over to us until we demanded to see him. They reimbursed our friend for some of the cost. Moved them to another room. We had blood on our comforter. Had to get another one. Did not get enough wash rags or towels. The corporation that bought them out is not doing a good job to maintain the units or hire people that take care of the units properly. My friends have been coming here for 20 years. This is the last year they will not be back. We intend to let others know about it.
