It was in walking distance to the Boardwalk which was great. The was a bit tight but it was free so that was nice. The rooms were clean and for the price it did the job.

Great location!
Great location. Easy walk to the wharf for dinner. The boardwalk is close and if you like bowling or miniature golf they are both within a two-minute walk. Also close to beach volleyball and the sand. The proprietor was kind and helpful.
