We had a wonderful time here. We stayed off season and the location and convenience were perfect. We enjoyed spending time in the lobby and wrap around porch. The room was nice and clean.

I have stayed here before and really enjoyed. This time when we had an issue with booking and got to the inn no one was answering the phone line. I used the emergency line and Jason was fantastic but no managers were answering him and we could not get our room. Instead we had to stay across the street at a different hotel. While he could get us a room it was a very long and frustrating experience.

The room was small, the shower was horrible (leaking/not working correctly and the ceiling was too low and slanted), the code check in for the room door didn’t work. Glad we only booked 1 night.

The staff were very polite and helpful. A lot of steps to climb to get to the room. Upon arrival, I had to search around for a parking spot. Fortunately, with my HP tag, I found an available parking spot in the next block before moving to the hotel parking lot the next day. Overall, I did like the hotel.

I had to give this property a poor because our 2 nights here were very unpleasant. We were in a room on the 2nd floor and apparently the room(s) above us were rented to either a family with noisy kids or simply rude people. From 9pm -midnight on both nights it sounded like someone was dropping heaving things on the floor and it was going to come crashing through the ceiling on us. It was very hard to sleep.

Very nice stay! Area was great! Staff was super nice! My only complaint was the bathroom and parking! Very very small! I’m a pretty small person (5ft) and I was very uncomfortable in the shower. The parking lot was very small and spots were super tight! However, was a great stay overall! Would definitely stay here again!

Given the reviews I was a little skeptical, but overall it was fine. It is definitely no-frills and very old. If you're looking for something more, this isn't it. Rooms are very small and my main complaint was the bathroom. Super-tiny and in need of an update. Bathroom door didn't always stay closed, sinks are in your bedroom, shower was very very small. Towels are more like washcloths, TVs had limited channels. But, beds were actually comfortable and the hotel is in a great location. Staff was also friendly. Don't think I'd stay there again though.

Staff was very very nice, amazing location walking 2 blocks to boardwalk and beach. If i was staying for more than 1 night i would prefer bigger room and bathroom. Room contained everything needed and more (fridge,microwave,irons and hairdryers for the lady), just prefewr somewhere to read/chill like a chair/desk area. For a 1 night stay i would def recomend this cute little spot.
