Budget friendly, not boujie friendly
Pros: Perfect location! In the middle of the boardwalk so you didn’t have to walk from one end to the other. Just cross the road and you’re on the boardwalk. Comfortable beds. Decently priced.
Cons: The “renovated” rooms are just some do it yourself projects. Nightstand used to have drawers but they layed (not glued or nailed down) pieces of wood (think white board or paneling) as a shelf. It fell apart. White contact paper covering the top and added a layer of paint on top of that at some point. There were black metal things attached loosely to the corners that they painted around. The only table is a folding one that was dirty when we got it out. Carpet was sticky like they used a carpet cleaner and brought all the dirt to the surface. Had to wear socks or sandals while in the room. Air conditioner was loud! I noticed the filter sticking out a bit so when I put it back in place it quieted the rattle but it was still loud. Couldn’t watch tv much because the channels were limited. Shower the size of, if not smaller than, a cruise ship shower. I had 2 large stains on my comforter. Toilet paper was thin one ply. Towels were small and scratchy.
Could be great if the owners put some care and pride into it. Hotels.com had old photos so I ruled it out until I looked online and saw newer pics and that they renovated. It was a halfa$$ed attempt at a reno, but it had me fooled.

We had an amazing time! Check in was super easy and a bonus was that parking was included. Staff was so welcoming. The room was clean, quiet and safe area. Location was amazing. Right across the street from the water park, amusement park and beach/boardwalk! Right next door they own a small restaurant with great food, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. We will definitely return! Thank you for the hospitality ❤️🤩

The location was great. The room wasn't bad just the beds are very hard and no Wifi service that also sucked. I wouldn't stay again.
