Ocean 7

10/10 Excellent

"Great place near boardwalk"

Impala Island Inn

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location - close to beach and boardwalk. Parking was occasionally inconvenient when the main lots were full and you had to park across the street from the hotel. The pool was enjoyable, but no towels available. Rooms were mostly clean. Beds were a bit hard for our liking, and the pullout bed/sofa mattress was extremely uncomfortable due to springs and thinness. Some staff did not seem happy/welcoming, we had to wait awhile for service at the front desk and had to ask twice for new towels. Overall, not the fanciest hotel but better than others we've stayed at. It was worth the cost for the convenient location and pool."
