It is very close to the beach, they allowed us to check in early, they have a heated pool and it was open in Sept along with the grill in the pool area which made it great for us to cook meals. Nice setup with 2 queen size beds in our room made the stay very enjoyable.

This was a convenient location. Its probably an older hotel, simple but it's cared for and the staff was fantastic. It's close to boardwalk at 9th street and a couple blocks to Asbury ave.
