We booked a room here and were completely swindled. When booking the room, we asked to see the room first, and he refused, saying "I know you will like it. Don't worry. We remodeled." Yes, the room ended up being clean and fine, but it was annoying that he kept refusing to let us see the room before we booked... more

I want to start off by saying I usually stay at the "Luna-mar Motel" a few blocks away from Desert Palm Inn. But because my sister is pregnant and I've had several knee surgeries I decided to book a room at Desert Palm, as it was closer to walk to the boardwalk. It had looked like a "nice" place all... more

We were charged $156.00 for 1 night - 2 double beds - in the "DELUXE" ocean view 3rd floor room. The room was dirty, dusty, and smelled. The room didn't have a phone or alarm clock. There is no elevator. The motel had a sign out front advertising 2 double beds for $99 per night. The clerk stated that the... more

Hi, if you read this before you book the room, lets let you in on what you get. The rooms are very small. The beds i think are the old ones used at the jails and brought there for your pleasure. The rooms are freshly painted on the wall, windows and carpet,Nice. Know for housekeeping. My son dropped a toy... more

This motel was absolutely discusting. First of all, the room smelled discusting The entire room was dirty including mold in the shower and on the curtain. The blinds were broken so anyone walking by on the street could see directly into our room. There were holes in the walls, paint all over the nasty "carpet" and I am pretty sure... more

The hotel room was absolutley filthy! The carpet was dirty and like concrete. The door frame was half falling down when we got there, and although they repaired it, we never did get another chain lock. The bathrooms looked like they never were cleaned. The shower had mold and filth everywhere. Mold was even on the shades in the room.... more

This place should be shutdown by the board of health & the local fire department! It was absolutely filthy ! The shower was black - bleach didn't even touch it. Don't think the carpet has been cleaned since they built the place - didn't darn walk around without shoes on. Extention cords everywhere - under the carpet. Stay away!!! more
