We liked that it was not ridiculously expensive AND the beds were excellent, the room was spacious, the bathroom was excellent. No complaints. Nothing fancy but comfortable and very well located.

Front office staff/owner was amazingly friendly and welcoming. The room is large and clean. The bathroom is a bit small for the size room but serviceable. Location, Location, Location. This place is very affordable considering how close to the boardwalk/ocean it is.
