Stay away from this place!!! Super sketchy and absolutely disgusting. The smell in the room was horrendous. We got a refund and changed locations. Do yourself a favor and go one block over to the Sea Garden. Actually... just go anywhere else but here.

One block from the boardwalk. Room clean. The mattress is worn and needs to be replaced. No linen/towel replacement in a 3-day stay. Desk personnel were very friendly. Was allowed to go into the room early. The pool was well-maintained. AC worked well but loud. Would stay affordable short trips.

Perfect location for everything. If you are fancy you may not like this place, but if you are a sensible person with normal expectations this is a perfectly clean and decent place to rest your head right in the center of all the action. My daughter absolutely loved the pool and the staff were super friendly. Again we were not there for the hotel room. This is the best place I found after 20 years of visiting every summer for the location and budget
