8.6/10 Excellent! (80 reviews)
Bathroom and room were lovely however I did not feel safe here at all. Since there is no staff people are free to behave and treat you however without consequences. Luckily the room was nice since I was too afraid to leave it because of how aggressive other guests were.

8/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)
Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

Amazing view in my town right under my nose. It was my first time here and I love the hills and the green in the winter. Compositionally is not what I wanted but the sky was pretty dramatic and I thought why not.
