The hotel itself is your typical older beach property. However, it has been renovated and the rooms are clean and convenient to the beach and boardwalk. The pool area is also clean. It's well worth the stay!

Great stay overall! The room was clean, staff was friendly, and it was very pet-friendly which we appreciated. The kitchen was convenient and made traveling with kids easier. Only downside was there was no bathroom vent fan, so the bathroom got pretty humid after showers. Otherwise, we had a good experience and would stay again
