The rooms we stayed in have been remodeled. Overall the room was nice. This location is family owned. The guy at the desk was very nice and gave us lots of info. Parking was fine as there was always a place to park. The boardwalk was within walking distance from our room. We will definately stay here again. Thank you

It’s a cheap room and you get what you pay for. I love that it’s reasonably priced walking distance to ocean. I wish they had some cameras facing the room halls, I’m not sure if they do. And we stayed two nights I wished they would have offered us towels and taken out the trash. But the front desk ppl were very nice and they gave us a great room that ended up being so fun so I really can’t complain. I had loud 16 year old boys and the managers were below us and never complained.

I stayed for three days, and the room was never cleaned; I had to go ask for toilet paper. It is on the second floor, and the safety railing is dangerous for children because it wobbles if you hold onto it.

Staff was very nice. The location in relation to the boardwalk was great. There were cobwebs in the room and some fruit flies flying around. The parking is severely limited and hard to get in and out of. It also has a pretty strong urine smell but I don't think the staff can do much about that, unfortunately. One of our children found a folded dollar bill full of a white powdery substance at the bottom of the rear steps which was highly concerning, but also, no fault of the staff.
