We would stay here again. The rooms are super Clean, the location is right of the high way but it’s quiet, the location is a 30 minute walk to the boardwalk; 5 minutes if you drive. they have private parking. Also, we really enjoyed the complementary breakfast especially the waffles, nothing fancy but enough not to have to go elsewhere and spend money.

Simple, no frills, perfectly fine. It was very clean, the towels were soft even if there were only 2 sets for a 4 person reservation, the front desk clerk was nice. Free parking, free wifi, and a decent free breakfast. Not fancy but good in all the basics
