I definitely recommend staying here. Great hotel for a quick stay and it’s also close to the boardwalk. Safe place to park and leave your vehicle. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff was very friendly. Check in was simple, however the price we booked with on Expedia was $20 cheaper than what they ended up charging us at the hotel. The room was cute, but unfortunately there was an almost unbearable odor that came from the sink, and because of the small size of the bathroom, the sink was in the main room. We didn’t notice the smell when we first checked in otherwise we would have said something right away. We noticed it after using the sink to brush our teeth and wash our faces. It was so bad we had to cover the sink with a towel. We asked for extra towels in the morning which we never received…. I wanted to give this place a higher review because everyone was so nice, but unfortunately there were too many things lacking.
