The hotel is dated, but was fantastic for what we needed. Quick walk to the beach. They allowed us to park before and after checkout to go to the beach. On site pool was great. Outdoor shower and bathroom available when coming from the beach. Office lady was super friendly. This is the first place I will check the next time I come back to the area!

It was a great place to stay especially for the price and a heated pool, only downfall is I didn't realize the boardwalk was at least 10 blocks away but a lot of other hotels were even further than this one.

It was in a great area. Not too far from the boardwalk with plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Beach bus stop was very close and just a few steps from the beach. Very friendly staff and rooms were clean and comfortable. Jolly roger park was across the road and there was parking on site as well as a pool.
