Great oceanfront location!

Hotel location you can’t beat! Right on the beach boardwalk with easy access to the beach! Beds are extremely comfortable. Rooms have everything you need, small but let’s be honest - you aren’t spending your time in the room! Pool is nice and has perfect view of the ocean!! Onsite parking is nice, however you do have to pay a daily fee. Location proximity to restaurants is ideal! You can literally walk everywhere

Bad information

We were two elderly ladies and when we asked if there were elevators they said yes. This is deceiving because you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to elevators.
