Our bedsheets had stains on it, outlets were missing covers, the bathtub looked dirty, there was no help desk at night, and parking is horrible. It’s super close to the pier, about 15 mins walk to boardwalk but other than that it’s horrible. Don’t be fooled by the pretty marketing photos. Look at trip advisor first before booking.

In a great location — right in between the boardwalk and downtown so easy to walk around. For the price this place is awesome. Only complaint is the SMELL. Stayed here twice, the first time it was just the bathroom that had a bad sewage smell, the second time it was the whole room. Had to keep window open and still didn’t help much. Not sure if it’s the pipes or what but bad enough that we probably won’t stay here again unless it’s a last option which sucks because it’s a nice spot in great location.
