Family trip
I was delightfully surprised at the good condition of this hotel. It’s in a great location-you can walk to the wharf and the Boardwalk. The only disappointment was no breakfast. Not even a grab and go bag with yogurt, etc. There are restaurants in the area but they are not cheap

Always love staying here because it's so clean and feel safe parking my car in the parking lot without worries of it getting broken into. And walking distance to the water. I feel like it's a great value for the area.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Unsafe, loud and inattentive front desk.
Someone was running back and forth I. The room above us at 3am for over an hour! I called the front desk 4 times and no answer! I felt unsafe to walk to the front desk to get help. We got very little sleep. Not worth the $ if you can’t even use the room to sleep.
