Clearly this place has been recently remodeled. Everything in the room is clean and new, and the room was fairly spacious. My only complaints are: the lighting is so blindingly white, it's like opening a refrigerator- and no table lamps. The wall sconce lighting is too "white" and the charging outlets are on the sconces- how do I plug a phone into that? The other problem is that if you have a lovely balcony view of the boardwalk, and like to open the window to enjoy the breeze at night, be ready for non-stop traffic, guys revving their engines, noisy car radios, etc, all night long. I'd rather pay more and stay on the west side.

You get what you pay for. The property is worn and tired but safe enough and reasonably clean. Traffic noise may bother someSince.

Nice staff. Clean room if a bit spartan. TV channel selection is good. Walk to beach/boardwalk is not too far but you have to cross a busy roadway and then walk along it for a block or so before turning toward the beach.

Very good for the price
The place seemed a little sandy when we arrived but perhaps that's inevitable. Cleaners did not replenish the coffee, coffee was pretty bad. (Go to one of the many nice breakfast spots nearby.) But otherwise we had a nice stay here. It's not on the ocean but the walk to boardwalk isn't far. With a car you are close to several other calmer beaches, lots of hiking trails, and downtown. It's at a busy intersection with traffic on two sides, but did quiet down at night. King bed was great. Good service, attentive. Pleasant stay for the price.

I stayed in the room that had one king size bed with my two little boys and it got us perfectly. The shower had two different heads which was nice. The balcony patio was an awesome feature. My only complaint is that even though it was a non-smoking room, it still smelled like smoke.
