It was quiet and convenient for walking to the boardwalk, check in was quick and easy. The room was not too great, the hair dryer did not work, the coffee maker did not work, the seat looked filthy with stains. But the stay was satisfactory for our needs.

Room carpet is so dirty its sticky. Walking around with socks or barefoot turned the bottom of our feet black. We had some people next door who seemed to be living long term in their room, and were playing music past quiet hours. We had to call front desk to ask them to stop playing music so loud.

We had a group of 6 so the room we had fit us wonderfully with everyone having a comfortable bed to sleep in. We were impressed with the friendliness and service from the front desk; she was very helpful and kind. The only issue we had was lack of parking after being out late. We had to park in a place that was not actually a space because there was nothing left, but everything went well since we had our sticker in the window as a guest. We also appreciated having walking distance to the boardwalk. We shall return.
