The hotel is a charming old-school gem with clean and newly remodeled rooms including a small table to sit at, a sofa, a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, all with character. The service was nice with a follow-up call regarding my reservation, and the housekeeping was great. The location couldn't be better, right on the beach with easy access to the boardwalk and just steps away from the pier. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the hotel lacks a dedicated dining area for guests.

I absolutely loved my stay at this quaint hotel. The room with 2 queen beds and a patio at the end was just charming, providing privacy from the kids. It had a lovely old-school vibe with character, and I appreciated having a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The service was top-notch, with a nice follow-up call to confirm my reservation. The location right on the beach was unbeatable, offering easy access to the boardwalk and pier. While the homemade marmalade at breakfast was a delightful touch, the facilities were a bit dated. Overall, a great value for the money.
