Its a quaint spot. Right accross the street of the Boardwalk. Room was nice - nothing extravagant, which is what to expect for the what you get. It was quiet and the staff was friendly. The back parkingll area is a bit sketch, but nothing they can do much about it. They are limited on parking.

Thumbs up
Check in was painless and quick. We had a bottom floor room so we heard everyone’s foot steps from above room. Also heard next door tenant snoring. So walls are pretty thin. On a good note, bed was comfortable and room was really clean.
