Everything was clean, customer service was great, the only thing comfort inn holds a $100 deposit on your debit card which I did not know until I checked in. I went thru Expedia maybe that's why I wasn't informed up front. But everything was good.

The owners are so sweet and we go there every year if not twice a year... Everybody's there to have fun and if there's a little bit of noise we don't mind. Free breakfast and they always let us get a late check out at 12:00 it's 3 minute walk to the boardwalk and there's plenty of places to eat right by us. There is a karaoke bar inside of the bowling alley that only takes about 2 minutes to walk to. Right before you get to the boardwalk there's a little surf shop and everybody that works there is amazing and helpful.
