Great location, good size room

We stayed in the large room that had a king size bed, and two queens, nothing fancy, but it is perfect for our family size and very close to the boardwalk at a reasonable price.

This is a great location, it’s very close to the boardwalk. The room we had was a suit a full size bed in the extra room. No mirror in the restroom and no working phone. Water leaked out of the shower. Other than this it was good. I would definitely stay again.

Nice room but noisy neighborhood

Very close to the boardwalk and the wharf, room was spacious and the staff was friendly. If you are looking to sleep past 6am this is not the place, extremely noisy neighborhood.

Bed being on metal bed frames was strange, bed itself wasn’t the best quality. Location was perfect and the room worked for exactly what we needed. Owner was very kind and helpful. Rooms looked like they were recently updated, bathroom was great. Mainly just the bed situation and the floor needs a good mopping.

It was loud all night!! the people upstairs were stomping around and just terrible! Don’t expect to sleep. The people around the area are super loud. I guess that’s what I get for being right across from the boardwalk.

a bit noisy, and the beds have bottoms that sound like they are made of pans. But it was clean and was a safe place to sleep for the night. The staff was nice.
