This hotel was clean. This is right off the freeway entrance and was sometimes noisy. The breakfast was good. If you are just looking for some place to lay your head it completes that.

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

I booked for 2 days with my daughter. Breakfast was offered from 6am-9am, however , I was still allowed to get coffee and some fruit as I checked out at 1030am. Staff were nice and polite and helpful. The receptionist that was on duty when I checked in was able to accommodate me to another room as my room was towards the front and I felt was too noisy. She was kind enough to change my room with no problem. Great stay!

Room was clean (very important) , front desk efficient and friendly at reception, not so much as leaving in morning. Parking perfect. I needed a 1st floor room (health issues) not possible and the stairs were very big effort

You have to ask if you want your room attended to on a multi day stay. WiFi was weak and Verizon cell service barely there. (Don’t expect to stream a movie.) Breakfast was decent. Getting in and out of the parking area was tricky as it’s on a street that becomes the on-ramp for the highway.
