I liked that the property was walkable, downtown is only about 15 minute or less walking and the Board walk is about a 5 minute walk, stayed one night and the room was clean, had warm water, and a few necessities like a mini fridge and microwave

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.
