A quiet surprise. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside was renovated and lovely. No closet. But fridge and microwave. Barn door was a cute add on. The clerk said “normally we charge a $300 deposit, but I’ll only charge you $50”. It was safe and clean and surprisingly two blocks from the boardwalk and pier.

The room was clean, but needs to be updated. The bathroom shower was updated and very nice. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. I didn’t care for the carpet in the room. I feel wood/laminate floors would be cleaner. We were in room 121 I believe. It was a corner room right by the street, so you do hear the cars passing by. But in the night time, it was quiet. Walls were thin so you can hear your neighbors. The front office staff/man was soo nice and upgraded our room from a 1 to 2 bed, which we didn’t need, but was nice. We loved the location. It was a short walk to the beach. We would stay there again.

Great location to the Boardwalk

The best location if going to the Boardwalk. The hotel is older, so the room is small. The room seemed clean except for the floor; wear slippers or flip flops. There is no maid service. The shower took a very long time to get hot water. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.

Noisy with teenagers partying at 3am. computer could not detect internet so do not think it was available. Ran the shower and sink for 10 minutes and never could get hot water. $200 security deposit suggest high crime.

We really loved this place. The photos don't do it justice. The sheets were nice quality in the bed. My son and I stayed in a room with a single queen bed. It had everything we needed. Parking, convenient location, nice shower (essential near the beach), fridge, microwave, 3 blocks from the Boardwalk and all kinds of restaurant options. A lot of other hotels were double the cost. This was right next door to the Mariott. The only difference was Mariott had secure parking. This location also had designated covered on site parking. Just no security guards. Hope this helps someone, especially when you are on a budget and need to stretch the total vacation dollars.
