The room was spacious and clean. Very nice balcony to sit out and view the ocean and boardwalk. Very nice view! And the restaurant down stairs has a very good and upscale breakfast and good coffee!! All in all this is a good deal for where it is and what it provides for you!! Only problem we ran into was we booked through Expedia and they never mentioned that parking here is 20$ per day!! So expect the extra $$ for parking.

Great location to the beach. Our room was very dirty. Had what looked like blood on the bedspread and the couch was disgusting. We asked for the bedding to be changed and a cover for the couch. Bathroom door was broken walls were dirty AC was only in the living room. So on hot days it would not be very cool in the sleeping area. Staff was very friendly.
