Older property in a great location on the boardwalk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds in my room were very broken down and uncomfortable, as well as the pillows. Two of the pillows had strong body odors from a previous guest which was very off putting. The hotel could use a little updating but other than that it was a good stay for the cost.

The check in was easy, smooth and quick. The gentleman, Douglas helped us and was very pleasant and informative. Made our check in a really good experience ! The room was very clean and had everything we can possibly need. The staff was friendly and courteous. The beach was right across from us and we had a room with a side ocean view from the balcony which was a plus. I'll definitively go back there and stronly recommend it !
