My only complaint was that on Sunday night the bass boom from the music in the bar was loud till about 1.00am. Friday too but less so and finished by 12.30 am. Otherwise the room was comfortable if a little dated and the staff were helpful and friendly. Can’t comment on breakfast as we did not eat the hotel.

Great location across the street from the beach/boardwalk. Breakfast was excellent and service staff very friendly. We were away from the bar, so the noise issue that some reviews reference was not an issue for us. As this area is popular with locals, parking can be an issue.
