It was decent; fortunately, we were in a room away from the street, but be forewarned that the street is pretty busy and rooms closer to the street are going to get more noise. Our room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast room is tiny.

GREAT, a few things to be aware of...

The front desk people were friendly, helpful and accommodating, the cleaning ladies were sweet and helpful as well. I saw reveiws that said amazing breakfast, so that was a large reason we chose here... we were disappointed for our situation, but it may be fine for others. The only meat was a biscuits and gravy, and only other protein options were cheese sticks, and yogurt, and hardboiled eggs. There was a nice variety of other items available if you can eat those. Toast, muffins, waffles, juices, coffee, bananas, apple, oranges. The 1st morning everything was full and being overseen by a sweet lady. The next morning everything was sparce with barely any options available and it wasn't even close to breakfast closing time. The most disapointing part was an inspector showed up when we were almost ready to leave. The lady who came in to show her around assured her as she peared into the completely empty yogurt, cheese, area that 15min ago this was completely full. (It had been empty at least 45min, no milk left for cereal. no eggs or biscuits and gravy offered that morning) ovrall the place was clean and we were happy with what was available, under our comforter on the sheet was a large blue pen or marker blot. hopefully they don't blame us for it. We loved the beautiful plants and alcoves for sitting and eating, as well as the hot tub area. Its just when you spend an exorbitant amount per night there are a few things/or standard you sort of automaticly expect to be provided.

Very clean room, comfy bed and the jetted tub was amazing! The location is perfect if going to the Boardwalk. Also there is a Safeway right across the street for easy shopping for drinks/food. We took ride shares from the hotel instead of paying for parking at the boardwalk and it worked out perfect. Will definitely stay here again.

The room and the staff were great. The Inn itself is on a busy street so there was a fair amount of city noise. The big problem for me was that the breakfast was terrible and there was very little room to sit. The toaster didn't work well at all and there was no hot protein offering. It was a very small inconvenient room with not good food.
