Hotel was fairly basic, but met the needs for sleeping in a safe and clean environment. Great access to the beach and boardwalk.

Thumbs up
Check in was painless and quick. We had a bottom floor room so we heard everyone’s foot steps from above room. Also heard next door tenant snoring. So walls are pretty thin. On a good note, bed was comfortable and room was really clean.

It’s all about location, and they have it. But they cemented over the pool and took away the breakfast… they still charge so much and keep taking away things… we had a kitchen unit and we had to bring all our own plates etc…the only good thing is location
