“I appreciate that rooms are updated with hard floors-a practical touch for beach visits, though parking can be tight. It's a comfortable, no-frills base for enjoying the boardwalk, with updated interiors, even if some advertised amenities like the pool are currently unavailable. A solid choice if you prioritize location and cleanliness over extra features.”
