Pleasantly surprised that there was two separate rooms with doors and separate ac. It was very quiet and clean especially for the price. Within walking distance from the Broadwalk.

The staff are very accommodating but the rooms are musty with mold and since they allow smoking outside of the rooms, I would not classify it as non-smoking facility.

Great service at check in. Really friendly and accommodating. The hotel had parking and was in a perfect location, right in between downtown and the boardwalk. I'll stay here again for sure.

Everything was filthy. Everything was run down and the smelled terrible or broken. The room was right on the road and had a lot of road noise. The ac was loud and made a loud humming noise. The bed was terribly uncomfortable and we had to take the comforter off because it smelled so bad. Probably the worst hotel experience ever
