"Pros: Reasonable prices, good location close to the beach, friendly small town. There was only the guy at the front desk helping customers. He was kind and tried his best to solve issues. Cons: Elevator stopped working one time and we almost got stuck inside. Also, was denied a receipt at checkout. Guy said they don’t give receipts for online bookings even though I had to leave 100 dollars deposit. Not good!! "

"Centrally located walking distance to the wharf and Boardwalk. Beautiful ocean view. Cool retro room furnishings. Nice shower. Great balcony. Very nice staff. Wonderful morning breakfast room service you order the night before and select delivery time. Like the unique beach writing on sand in the morning (I think that is done by the hotel) Only one bad thing, the 1970's style noisy wall unit Heater/AC. Sounded like the surf crashing or a train rumbling by every time it went on. Really? ...
