Reviews

Little run down but still comfortable
-
The website showed they had a pool which was just a big, ugly area of dirt you got to look at outside your room. Not worth what we paid.
-
Above all else, staff was amazing. The rooms were clean and cozy. The inn is super close to the boardwalk which is nice. We had a lovely stay there and even made friends with a neighborhood cat named Honey (the sweetest). Definitely recommend and will be back.

Enjoyed our stay and the staff were very helpful
-
It felt very dirty and cheap. The bathtub was gross, the floors were filthy. This place is way overpriced for what it is. Will not stay here again.

We love this hotel and stay every year in July
-
Room smelled really bad. There wasnt a bottom sheet on the bed. The pool had been torn out but was advertised as one of the amenities. The people in the room above us were extremely loud. Tried to call the front desk but the phone was not working. There wasnt enough parking and had to park on the street. The property wasnt well secured. If I could I would get my money back.
-
The staff was amazing but our room was not like the pictures on the website. No shampoo or conditioner and our remote had tape holding it together, but was only there for the night so not too bad.

Everything about it was perfect. Close to the boardwalk. Clean room and clean sheets alone with towels.

When I Was There Somebody, Open, my truck and stolen like one Thousand dollars

The rooms weren’t that clean (flooring needed to be swept and mopped). The restrooms had a bad odor of urine. Balcony was dirty. Had to notify the front desk that house keeping skipped my room and never brought me fresh towels or cleaned the room when I requested for them to clean the room.

We didn't really encounter any staff besides at check in and my partner handled that. There is no pool and the area where it was, was not maintained. The rooms looked nice and updated. The AC worked very well. The pillows were terrible.
