A delightful surprise! We usually stay at big hotels but decided to stay one night at this small boutique hotel. It was immaculate! The owners Sean and Sam are brothers who recently bought this property and are upgrading it - including the changing the name to the Crest ( its old name is the Royal Crest.) Cute, smart and hip decor with parking and they were extremely helpful with suggestions to go and eat. The beds were comfortable and very expensive linen for sheets. You can tell they know they are treating this property as a little gem and the price was extremely reasonable for the resort area. You’ll be happy you found this jewel!

We got ripped off, when we arrived we were given a room that smelled like cigarettes, so was ask for a room change, again, the knew room smelled of smoke a as well. So we we went back to the office, the door was locked so we called and the guy there answered. We explained the circumstances and ask for a refund. He said fine, and for us to leave the key in the room. Which I did. So I realized I just lost $231.00. Try to get a refund and failed

Good place to stay

It was a great option for our needs. Came in to town for a wedding. Loved that it is so close to the beach and to the board walk. The price was good for the quality of the Inn. Room and bathroom was a bit dated but convenient nevertheless.

Great stay. The room was great, spacious. The bathroom is a little tight but was clean and functional. Great sunsets, a short walk at the end of the road. Checkout is easy. Just drop the key in the mailbox. Only minor one issue: There were no instructions for setting the thermostat. My visit was in October, and it got down to the 40s after sundown. I set the heat thermostat for 69 at 5:30. In the morning it was 62, so some sort of issue for setting the heat occurred.

Had a late arrival, the office was completely closed. Had someone that worked there not been staying there and saw us we would have been put out. He told us the office closed at 10.....Room was good size. Shower did not drain well. Bed was pretty stiff if thats what you like. Office was also closed when we went to check out and had to use the drop box. I find it strange a motel office is never open. What happens if you need something?
