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.

Beds are old. Towles smelled like they were left in washer for a day or two. Both Room locks were brocken. Bathroom lock broken and bad customer service. Housekeeping didnt clean our room after our 1st night, so I went to complain and at least get towels. They blamed it on us for not being able to open the room door when we were out and about.

1 night family stay
Nothing special, but worked for us on a quick family trip during a Holiday weekend. It was nice to be directly across the street from the Boardwalk. Unfortunately like others have said the parking lot is small, but we made due. Having booked a family room with 6 people and 1 just coming for the day we only were allowed 1 spot even though the other car was not staying overnight, so we had to pay additional parking $30 for just a few hours. The hotel itself is old and worn, but it was clean and for the most part comfortable. Wanted to enjoy my coffee on the patio, but it didn’t open until after 9am. The hotel served its purpose of giving us a place to rest after a day on the beach.
