Never seen any staff. You had to call a number he left out and he said my keys were outside in the mailbox. Then we went to our room and when you opened the door it would fall down some. You would have to pick up the door and slam it to get it to close. No fitted sheet on the bed, they took a flat sheet and placed it over a dirt mattress. Then at 12:20 am the fire alarm goes off…still no staff or fire department. Never was there anyone at the front desk. To check out we had to call him. Will never stay here again!!!!

I received a call earlier in the day asking what time I would be arriving, i told him that I was not sure and asked was it a problem; the gentleman said no he was just checking. We arrived late around 9pm. Poor service, no one at check-in when we arrived, sign up for us to call a number for service! Gentleman came apologized said he was in the kitchen. I asked what were the hours for the continental breakfast in the morning and was told they do not do it during off season! This is not listed on the website! Walls are really thin I could hear the person snoring in the room next door, did not sleep well. When we left still no one at the front desk!

Parking was $5 a day which isn’t bad for a tourist area. Hotel was nice and short walk to the boardwalk . The room was very clean but I think housekeeping forgot to clean the bathroom. Quite messy. But overall a nice stay.
