Pet friendly hotel. Good and bad. Had a dog bark for an hour plus because the owner left it alone in the room. Rooms are adequate.

The place was neat and clean, as it should be, I have no complaints. A few minutes walk away is a cute little open air coffee and bagel shop. Their pesto bagel was awesome, and my daughter loved her bacon avocado sandwich. A short drive to the Boardwalk and all was fine. We probably could’ve walked, as it was supposedly a 10 minute walk away, but we really didn’t feel like it and time was kind of tight. We were only in town for a night and a day

Staff was really helpful! Lady at the front desk was super nice and helpful. She even helped us swap the rooms so we get what we want. Highly recommended!

Outdated and needs a tune up. Ownership does just enough to make it look good. To bad could be a good place and close walk to beach and restaurants.
