Booked this property last min for a weekend getaway a week prior to arrival. Surprised by the 3 bed option in a 2 bedroom setup right across the way from the boardwalk! There are 2 queens with one full in spare bedroom that is like a cubic space with a window & mirror. Had a couple moveable end tables which was nice. The room itself was a good size & we didn’t feel on top of each other as much. Bathroom was clean but prepare to bring toiletries as they only offer a built foam hand wash & body wash in shower. Bring a hair dryer if needed. They have a coffee maker as well but you have to grab the coffee from the lobby, along with tea & not much other condiments. This place is old & they just smacked on a coat of paint with a few wall decals & paintings. The beds were ok but squeaky with minimal sheets but they had a heater as it was colder during our stay. No extra blankets. Room could’ve used a doormat inside the room. No elevator so if you have any issues with stairs, then request bottom level. They have 3 levels. The rooms near the 2nd level hall stairway can hear the rear parking gate slam shut constantly & it’s really loud. Curtains also don’t fully provide privacy. We had to move them around a bit & add some weight on them to keep shut. Staff was nice but didn’t need them as much. I would probably recommend mainly for location & feasibility to the boardwalk. At least we didn’t have to pay for parking. I didn’t see they had a pool either.

This place is absolutely accommodating. I booked this hotel/room for my kids and my daughter lost her wallet on the way from Orange County to San Jose. By the time they checked in, she doesn't have any credit cards but the manager accommodated them due to unfortunate circumstance, BIG thanks to the hotel I am glad they did let my kids checked in since I was out of the country travelling. The place and room booked was very nice, clean and spacious, quiet and parking was a breeze. I would book this place again.

I like that it was only a 5 min walk from the board walk
