You get what you pay for

Location good, but you sacrifice for it. Can’t even open room door half way because it hits the bed. Have to turn sideways just to move in bathroom because it is so tiny. A/C is in the bathroom. Have to keep bathroom door open to get air. If you open bathroom door it covers the TV. Not exaggerating. There was no bulb in bathroom light because prio bulb was broken off and jammed. Had to keep tv on just to have a light at night.Bulb socket wide open in a bathroom. If someone is coming out front door when you are trying to come in, the landing is so narrow you could knock someone Down a flight of cement stairs to the sidewalk. Stay if you have tolerance and good medical insurance. I fractured a toe just getting in the tiny shower because there was an 8” piece of wood across the threashold

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.

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.

Needs improvement

I found the room to be very misleading. It is a very old hotel that has not been kept up. I had no signal for TV. There was also a very musky smell in the room. I think it was very overpriced to be over two hundred dollarak

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.

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.

The property did its purpose. Everything was actually good except for the shower. The pressure is to high and the shower head can not be adjusted. I have to wet my body then step away from the stream to soap up and scrub then strp back into the stream to Rinse off. I would do a night or two but anything longer get a better hotel. The dtaff is really friendly and it is convenient to the beach and shopping.
