2-night trip

6/10

I have stayed here many times only for a night while visiting the shore. If you're looking for a place to shower/sleep at the end of your day at the beach, then this is a great place for the price if you plan on spending time inside the hotel rooms then look elsewhere. It's conveniently located close to the beach and boardwalk.

The interior space and grounds were immaculate. The bathroom fixtures and floor and wall tile appeared to be new. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The carpeting and hard floor were very clean and in excellent condition. On site parking was easy and convenient. I will definitely stay here again.
