The hotel room was spacious and comfortable. Walking distance to the Harbor & Boardwalk. Cafe right across the street to grab breakfast/lunch and it was delicious. This is our second time at this hotel. Would suggest to bring your own pillows since theirs are really hard.

I got a call from the desk at 2:30am saying that another guest had heard water running from my room. I checked - no apparent leaks. I listened carefully for the next hour and noticed a faint sound of water in the walls. I called the desk but nothing happened. This caused me a lot of stress and I wasn't able to sleep after this.

A very plain and rundown property for the price that you pay. Seems like they’re just charging those prices because of the location, but they put no effort into making their property inviting.
