Bed was comfy and it was quiet. There are bright lights everywhere and the curtains are not blackouts so beware if you have napping toddler issues like us.

The hotel is in the perfect spot for familes going to the beach! We attended a wedding on the beach so it was extremely helpful to miss out on parking fees. Complimentary toiletries were super helpful on our first night!

Old but decent, good location at boardwalk

Good location and free parking. But rooms are old and sort of crumbling. Priced too high. Good size fridge and microwave which were great additions.

Wonderful location
Branden, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was typical for a touristy beach town. It's an older hotel with wear & tear but it served its purpose. Grandkids loved the outside murals & sea theme. Very conveniently located across from boardwalk. Saved us from having to pay for parking in the lot across the street.

Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved that it offered an extra bedroom.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room and Property were clean and the staff was very nice. Can't beat the proximity to the beach for the price.
Cassie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed the fact the property was within walking distance of the boardwalk. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy, the guy at registration was super nice and even gave us some recommendations of places nearby. Honestly customer service alone ranks 100/10

Location!

We had a nice stay for one night while visiting the boardwalk. You cannot beat the location. Hotel is older but you can tell they are trying to maintain it as well as possible. Would definitely stay there again bc of location.
