Room was dirty and in need of updating. In the morning pest spray was sprayed outside our door (the smell was strong) so we checked out early. The price of this room was over $300.00 for one night. Also was charged $15.00 to park on top of the room charge.

Very close to beach and boardwalk. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a trip to the shore. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was fine. The ac unit was very loud. The TV did not work when we turned it on and we need a staff member to trouble shoot it to make it turn on. The office staff was very condescending to us about the problems blaming us for our ignorance and claiming surprise at the deficiencies.

Thank you for staying with us! We try our best to keep parking available for our guests. As you can imagine parking is hard to come by being a block from the beach! We promise you will always have a spot for your room!
