Older hotel, great location, no frills but convenient and clean rooms. Nothing special to mention. Budget friendly considering other options. Heated pool was a plus, no breakfast offered but plenty of nearby options within walking distance. I'd stay again for the value and location!

It was a great place to stay especially for the price and a heated pool, only downfall is I didn't realize the boardwalk was at least 10 blocks away but a lot of other hotels were even further than this one.

It was in a great area. Not too far from the boardwalk with plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Beach bus stop was very close and just a few steps from the beach. Very friendly staff and rooms were clean and comfortable. Jolly roger park was across the road and there was parking on site as well as a pool.
