    Easy walk to the Boardwalk

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice clean rooms, polite staff, decent breakfast selection, close to the beach and boardwalk. No lift if you have mobility problems ask for a ground floor room, I would recommend staying here.

    Perfect location for when visiting the boardwalk.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The staff were super helpful and friendly. We were 2 short blocks from the main entrance to the boardwalk. We had a wonderful hot, fresh breakfast each morning. Sausage, eggs, fresh make your own waffles. The pool was small but clean. There was plenty of hot water and clean amenities in the room. Would definitely stay there again.

    We booked a room with two queen beds, but it felt extremely cramped with very little extra space to move around. One of the beds was positioned only a couple of inches from the air conditioning unit, making the layout feel awkward. There was also a very small table that was difficult to use due to the limited space. While the rooms appeared to have been recently updated, the quality of the workmanship left much to be desired. For example, the bathroom had clearly been renovated, but areas where repairs were made were simply filled with white caulk that didn't match the wall color and was applied unevenly. The finishing touches made the renovation look incomplete and unprofessional. Parking was another disappointment. Although the hotel advertises parking, the available spaces are extremely limited. During our stay, the night manager even parked in a clearly marked no-parking handicap van access area, which was concerning and reflected poorly on the property's management. On a positive note, the complimentary breakfast was decent and offered a good variety of options.

    Great location but definitely just a standard hotel and the rooms were quite small.

    Very good

    It’s close to the boardwalk. It wasn’t clean. The bed cover had stains, the towels were dirty, the tub was dirty. It seemed as though they didn’t really clean the room and that’s just not acceptable. The coffee was watery one day and then the next it was clear the pump had not been cleaned, leaving flecks in the coffee. When I pay hundreds of dollars to stay for a couple nights I expect the room to at least be clean.

    It was clean,comfty, and super close to the boardwalk.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was okay. Needs to be cleaned more because there is left over hair and dust from previous stays and also there is hair in the tub, as well as the toilet was not cleaned and there was hair dust on top of the toilet seat cover. Breakfast was good but when we got there to check in there was still eggs and food from the morning and hopefully it wasn’t used for the next morning. Staff was friendly. And it’s very close to the boardwalk and it’s 1 to 2 minute walk.

    Beds are horrific. Staff is late to open office in morning. Room smells. Pool is dirty. Pics on website are not honest. Avoid this place.
