Flamingo Inn

Flamingo Inn Pros - [ ] Location - 2 blocks from the boardwalk. Very convenient to walk back and forth. - [ ] No bugs or smell - [ ] Art - the manager was very nice and eager to help you. Cons - [ ] The pictures online are not accurate. The motel has not been remodeled as we saw advertised. it is extremely old and in need of repair. - [ ] Angel - Art’s helper or assistant was ignorant and rude. He sighed and made excuses when I asked for towels. He did not want to be bothered and it was obvious. Loud sigh and “give me a minute”. - [ ] Room was beyond dirty. The carpet was stained and filthy. It hadn’t been vacuumed or shampooed it looked like ever. - [ ] The walls were dingy and filthy. - [ ] The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned at all prior to our arrival. - [ ] There were no towels, soap or extra toilet paper. - [ ] There was no hot water. At all. - [ ] The refrigerator had food in it from prior people and wasn’t very cold. - [ ] The microwave was filthy looking like something had exploded in it. Not useable. - [ ] The a/c unit worked but there was a huge gap around it in the wall. We felt the hot air coming in so not very efficient. - [ ] The room door also was not sealed. You can see daylight all around it. - [ ] The pool area was full of trash and broken chairs and loungers and cigarette butts. The pool seemed clean when we arrived but was green the next day. - [ ] The “free parking” was limited. They let people block cars in. If you were blocked, you had to go to the office and tell them to have cars moved. It was ridiculous. We came from out of state to spend time at the shore and with family. We had no choice but to stay there as everything else nearby was booked solid. When we arrived “Angel” tried to tell me he wasn’t expecting any other reservations that day and didn’t have a 2 bed room ready. Art had him go “clean” a room for us. Obviously, Angel just didn’t want to be bothered by us. Art explained that *********** always overbooks the motel. I was left to feel “lucky” that he could get us a room even though we had our reservation for over a month. For 2 nights we paid $370 and it wasn’t worth it. At all. Possibly $150 for 2 nights because of the location but that is all. We will never stay there again or recommend this motel to anyone.
