Very nice value for the money, a little older but they clearly made some good efforts to modernize the decor. Could be cleaned better-tidy but found used floss and soap ring in the bathroom.

The location is very good, near the boardwalk. Although they charge $10 for parking it's still better than parking at the boardwalk. one can walk for 10mins to save $$. The hotel staff was quite nice and friendly. The manger allowed us to keep our car in the premises even after our checkout which was great. overall, a good stay.

Extremely satisfied with our stay. For the price we paid, we had low expectations. But this was so close (walkable distance) to boardwalk, rooms were well maintained, beds were comfortable, swimming pool temperature was good even for a April first week evening time. I don’t think any other place would beat this place for the price we paid. Staff was great, particularly front desk/registration staff. Thank you! We had a fun time weekend.

Wall very thin. Can hear people talking in the room next to us and walking down the hall. Did not get much sleep. Rooms very nice. Staff not very friendly. If you book at hotel free parking otherwise you have to pay.

This place was just an uneasy stay, we were one of two groups for my weeklong stay, and that was for good reason, it reeks of bleach everywhere and the streets around are a homeless hotspot. there is no breakfast served so don’t let that trick you, my room was dirty and not whipped down with the thinnest sheets and payed extra for a room without a working fridge and i went down to ask to change rooms and they ignored me. the stay was in a convenient place but not worth it overall.
