This property was a huge disappointment!! I paid for an upgrade to get a partial ocean view balcony and I didn’t receive it. I received a ground level parking lot view. Alice at the front desk was wonderful but the other woman that was there was miserable!! Not only is there NO parking you have to reserve one of about 4 spots. Their website says ‘limited parking’ NOT that you have to reserve it!! The showers are OMG narrow!!! The shower curtain clings to you because it is so narrow!! I am sure they don’t clean them all that well - disgusting! It even clung to my 26 year old son who is about 6 foot 170 pounds so it is not because we are big fatties!!! The lay out of the room is weird and their placement of the TV made it difficult to see from both beds!! I would definitely look for a different place to stay!!!

Great little place! Parking was a little tricky, but you just have to be a little patient and look for spots on side streets within a short walk to the Inn. We will be back!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and everything was good but it was not particularly nice and had no frills. It is good for the price and it's right by the ocean- literally on the boardwalk. Exceeded my expectations. They even upgraded us for free by selecting us as Guest of the Day. Homey vibe.

Right at the boardwalk. Parking can be a challenge if you don’t reserve one but that could get expensive at $30 a night.
