    Clean comfortable room. Towels and bed sheets was fresh and clean. Hotel very close to the ocean. . Breakfast was perfect for this price. Parking lot inside the building. Elevator between the floors. Good hotel for this money.

    Superb location: Immediately across from the Boardwalk, and beach, which was lively and closed at 6pm this time of the year. (Quiet!) Within walking distance of restaurants, yet with ample parking within the motel grounds. A very nice renovation...
