I loved staying here. The people who there are very nice. It’s a good walking distance to the boardwalk about 8-9 minutes. You don’t have to drive to get to the boardwalk. Rooms are comfortable and clean.

The closeness to the beach is great. We slept fine. Not having any amenities was extremely disappointing especially given that there are no places to purchase anything that’s necessary. In addition, when we needed assistance from the front desk, nobody answered despite our calling several times.

Excellent location, front desk staff go out of their way to make you happy. Has everything you'd need for one of the best prices near boardwalk: Microwave, mini-fridge, nice pool area. I didn't see an elevator for 2nd floor so if you need that write that in the comments when booking. Great location only a few blocks from beach, in the heart of the boardwalk action.
