Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, family friendly, walking distance to some good restaurants, good price. comfortable beds. Not your typical Quality Inn. This was more like a Mom and Pop type hotel. nothing fancy, but very doable. Not walking distance to the beach, 2 miles according to GPS, with little kids. I would stay there again.

I like that the beds were so cleaned and the room was a good size the restaurants are very close to the location we went for a walking and see the river the beautiful moon 🌙🌚✨on our way back.
I didn't like the fact that I heard noises of all kind and since I have kids I kind of understand sometimes it's impossible to keep them quiet and I get a call telling me that someone complain about the noise from my room and I try to stop them even for walking fast..😒😒😒😒

The hotel is small, on the main road to the boardwalk. The room smelled fresh and was very clean. Pluses were- -Walking distance to the boardwalk. Awesome ice cream place across the street! (Marianne’s) -Comfortable beds -mini fridge with plenty of space for food/snacks -Hot shower with awesome pressure
Down side- - Must lock car doors at night with the area. - A bit of street noise, and some people were loud arriving back at their rooms at 2-3 AM

When we got there they were power washing the sidewalks and landscaping was going on the place although older it is well maintained and clean. It was quiet no nonsense going on...
No outside trash it is pet friendly but when we cleaned up after the dogs no place to throw away except in room not a good option ALSO the bathtub is raised I tripped getting in and almost fell getting out as I forgot it was raised a lot and wet feet I almost fell But other than that it was a nice stay 🙂
