It’s an old beach hotel. Yes the room is small but the facilities are kept clean and it’s 2 blocks from the boardwalk and beach. Perfect place to sleep and grab a shower, the rest of the day is on the beach.

The staff was really polite and helpful. But the room was a little dirty and the bed felt like it had a grim feeling but wasn’t a big deal since we knew to bring sheets. Would stay there again but 100% recommend bring your own sheets and blankets.

It's lower level.

Great location close to restaurants and the boardwalk. Accommodations were fair. The photos look much better than what you get. If you want something for a few nights on the cheap, this will do. It's the bare minimum.

Budget hotel, but reasonably priced. Bed wasn’t very comfortable, but it was only for one night! Not a great place to go if you can’t carry your luggage up multiple steps actually sets of steps.

We enjoyed the porch area, but it needs better furniture which was dirty, some and some pieces had damage. The ceiling in our bathroom was missing a tile and the scary looking old lath exposed above was unappealing!! We liked the location with respect to the beach and boardwalk.
