STAY ELSEWHERE

BEWARE!! I have never staying in a more disgusting place as I have here. I can deal with outdated but this place was just plan gross. From ceiling tiles falling off, mold in shower and bathroom walls. Baseboards falling off and rotting. The carpets were gross and would not ever suggest walking barefoot. The AC unit on the balcony is a huge hazard as it's right where the table and chairs are and it's rotted & rusted. The common areas are also very dirty with old dilapidated furniture and fixtures and 100 year old worn carpeting. We thought staying right on the main boardwalk would be a nice experience to be close to everything but it was NOT worth the money they get for these dumps.

The bed was very comfortable! The room itself was a good size but the bathroom is small . They don’t offer housekeeping however if you ask at the front desk, they will get you extra pillows or towels. There are no elevators so if you have issues climb and stairs, it would be very hard to stay there.

Cozy spot

View was perfect for a side view , the deck is definitely worth the stay . Staff is extremely friendly and personable . Ac worked amazing, shower pressure was good , small bathroom slippers in the shower be careful . Over all solid place for a night away with a friend or spouse if you plan on being out and about. Affordable parking oh my i have a large suv very tight spots but got out very very carefully.. cute spot perfectly located to everything… probably could use some updates maybe ditch the carpet and put flooring down coat of paint and cute decor would probably make a world of difference imo . BUTTTT LOVELY STAY greeted with kindness and when checking out they were super kind and friendly definitely would stay again because of that alone oh and plenty of seating out on their front deck

Overall, the hotel was fine! The shower was a bit gross, because it looked moldy around the edges. My guess is it’s just old and not actually moldy but grossed me out. The bathroom was also very small and you couldn’t even open the door all the way cause it would hit the toilet. The owner or maybe manager, was super friendly and kind. He let us check in hours early, which was amazing with two young kids. This made everything else tolerable for us. The beds were clean and fairly comfy. The only complaint I have is more pillows in the room would have been nice! Overall I was satisfied with out stay and it was great to be that close to the ocean!!
