The location is the best thing about this place. It’s right in the beach next to the boardwalk. It also comes with parking but we were also charged $20 hotel fee. The bathroom also had a clog in the shower. The staff was nice and helpful.

For a structure that has existed for many years, the buildings appeared to be in decent condition. Safe condition. I feel they have been maintained well. The room resembled days many years ago. The room was comfortable and provided the relaxation expected. The staff was super! Very kind, respectful, helpful, and considerate.

Only reason I didn't rate better was they really need to replace the pull out sleeper couch in room 317, sorry but it sucked!! Very hard to pull out,took 2 peoples and the mattress was ridiculously old. Nothing left to it. Good thing that kids can sleep just about anywhere. Other than that all was fine, a little dirt here and there but wasn't bad. NO BUGS.
