You can walk directly across the street to the beach. Down the road to local restaurants/bars. But if you want to really have fun take the ferry to Crystal Beach and hang out or drive down to The Stran it's pretty cool too!

My room was ready when I got there at 12pm. That was great. The location was great. Right of the sea wall, and close to the boardwalk.

If you're in search of a bargain, this hotel is for you. It is reasonably priced, clean, and in a good location, especially for beach-goers. It is no-frills though, so if you're looking for extra amenities then you should go elsewhere.

I liked it was by the beach affordable and convenient. Property was sandy. Room floor wasn’t as clean as I would have wanted it to be. Found a spider on bed and a spider on restroom floor.

You have to pay a $100 deposit when you check in. I checked their website to see if they had it posted there and it wasn’t. But you get it back if you don’t smoke and if the room isn’t missing anything. But pay in cash because if you use a debit or credit card it takes 3-5 business days to get it back. But besides that the room was decent and it was quiet. We only used it to sleep but half the time we were not even in the room. And the view from our room was amazing. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful. And I was disappointed about the pool it was small but I guess perfect for kids.

This is a super value property. Very, very cheap, so you get what you pay for. Great location right across from the beach. The room was actually very clean. Bed was comfortable. But it’s pretty rough around the edges. The door of our room kind of looked like someone has tried to break in at some point in the past. The lobby has a weird smell of mildew and chemicals. The pool had a cigarette butt floating around in it. However, it was great value and felt safe and clean.
