Affordable price but I cannot rest. So much noise. Car The photos from ******* is different than in real. Deposit is $150 and check in needs to stand outside the office. Parking space is small and limited. Wall is so thin and I heard next neighbor watching TV at 11am and upstairs walking /playing guitar at 8 am. Seems like they are residents and no need to work and sleep. Won’t recommend. Same price can find other options.

The innkeeper was very friendly and accommodating and gave us a unit perfect for travelling with children. Parking was secured and covered. The room was generously big and the amenities were very at par with the price point. My family and I slept well and woke up refreshed to the sound of birds and the seawaves.

Check in was smooth. The man at the front desk was friendly and informative. He put our group of three together, allowed us to stay parked at the hotel after check out while we had one last day at the Boardwalk and he even called to let me know my daughter left her iPad in the room. Great customer service goes a long way. The hotel is affordable and short walk to the Board Walk. If you don’t plan on spending a lot of time in the room, it’s a great option. We would stay here again.
