"We love Dream Inn. This was our 5th visit. We love the view and the excellent service. That being said, the bathrooms are in great need of renovating. This is a great location, but it only rates as a 3 star hotel."

"Room was typical for a touristy beach town. It's an older hotel with wear & tear but it served its purpose. Grandkids loved the outside murals & sea theme. Very conveniently located across from boardwalk. Saved us from having to pay for parking in the lot across the street."
