It was very small and the bathroom door was broken and the shower was very dirty, The sink leaked all over the counter and got me and my bsf stuff DRENCHED in water. Would NOT recommend for more than 2 people. The pool was the size of a small car and looked like it hadent been filtered of cleaned in months. Would highly recommend the Marriott across from the place. ❣️❣️

The hotel was conveniently located a couple minutes walk to the boardwalk. We had arrived early and was able to park in the parking lot while we went to the beach. Everyone was extremely nice. Parking is a little tight.

The pool is not big enough to be called a pool. There are not enough parking spaces. The room and bathroom were not clean, everything smelled dirty. In the morning, the front office has a loud BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP alarm on a speaker emitting sound outside that mimics a large truck backing up - it goes off every 5 minutes to wake everyone up. Absolutely horrendous.

Everyone that works there is very friendly, location is close to the beach/boardwalk and was a very easy walk with 2 small children. Only thing i would have changed is the size of the rooms. They are very small, felt very crowded as a family of 4 (standard double room)

Property was adequate for our needs and the free breakfast is a bonus.. This hotel is 3 blocks from the boardwalk and an easy walk. It’s no frills with a small pool. They don’t have enough parking on site so you might have to park on the street or the back alley.
