We stayed here for a night midweek and it worked out great. The location is super convenient—a super short walk to the boardwalk and lots of restaurants nearby, so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. Parking was included and there were plenty of spaces when we got there, which was a nice bonus. The room itself was clean, nothing fancy, but perfect for a short stay.

We wanted to visit the Boardwalk for 3 days but had a small dog. This pet friendly lodge was extremely convenient for walking to the attractions, free parking and a good, inexpensive outdoor eating place across the street. The pool was nice and also warm. The office staff was extremely helpful and nice particularly with suggestions for the dog. The windows are single paned so kind of noisy but the A/C helped. The cleaning staff needs better training. They skipped our room entirely one day. It is a very good place to stay and has a great location.
