Perfect location overlooking the beach and a very short walk to the pier and boardwalk. Lots of stairs if that’s an issue, but they do have floor level rooms. Plenty of parking with a charge. Lots of character to the hotel.

Great location—convenient and enjoyable for getting around and exploring the area. The space was comfortable overall. A bit more counter space in the bathroom would make things even more functional, and adding a screen door to the patio doors would really enhance airflow and comfort. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few small improvements that could make it even better.
