This was a totally OK place. The staff was really nice and had our check-in streamlined. The area felt only semi-safe – there was a man yelling at us from the parking lot of the hotel. And my room’s heating unit did not turn on, and the rooms and bathrooms needed a bit of renovation. My blue recycle receptacle was cracked and slightly chipped, and this is a perfect metaphor for the room itself: No deal breakers, nothing huge was wrong, just don’t know that I’d stay here again.

Disappointing accommodations

The staff were very friendly and nice, however, the room itself was more than disappointing. Our initial room had a water leak and had a very bad odor, the staff was able to move us to another room, but it wasn’t better. The bed and towels were thin and smelly, the pillows were barely thicker than cardboard, and the overall facilities were more than dated. The inn is not worth the price per night.

Stayed for one night. The room was nice and clean, some of the furniture was a bit outdated and beat up but that is not a huge a deal. The hotel is close to the boardwalk. Will definitely be staying here again.
