Disappointment

I didn’t love the dog friendly property because dogs were barking all night. Also the room next to us appeared to be living in the hotel room which is not the kind of property I stay at. Refrigerator froze our drinks, sink was scalding hot water and the shower was Luke warm. Won’t come back.

This is an older property, but clean. The microwave and fridge came in handy. There was not a coffee maker in the room.. which would have been nice to have. It you are 40 or older… the mattress may pose a challenge for your body. :) overall… great location! Can’t beat an across the street walk to the beach and boardwalk!

The room was great especially the separate room. The downside is they allow dogs and one was there and it was barking all night and kept us up.

The location is close to the beach. But I would rather stay a little further away with a better quality hotel next time.
