This is my second time here and once again, pros and cons. The last time we were here, the room were outdated but AC works. Now this year, rooms were renovated but AC didn't work this time. The only complaint was the bed platform makes loud bang noise. I'll definitely be back only if the price is right.

Great location for walking to Boardwalk and the pier. Room was clean, but quirky… bed made noise, small TV, no lamps or dim lights, broken toilet roll holder.

a bit noisy, and the beds have bottoms that sound like they are made of pans. But it was clean and was a safe place to sleep for the night. The staff was nice.

I could not stand the smell in the room. The metal beds seemed very cheap and made sounds easily.
