Old but decent, good location at boardwalk

Good location and free parking. But rooms are old and sort of crumbling. Priced too high. Good size fridge and microwave which were great additions.

Room was typical for a touristy beach town. It's an older hotel with wear & tear but it served its purpose. Grandkids loved the outside murals & sea theme. Very conveniently located across from boardwalk. Saved us from having to pay for parking in the lot across the street.
