Bed being on metal bed frames was strange, bed itself wasn’t the best quality. Location was perfect and the room worked for exactly what we needed. Owner was very kind and helpful. Rooms looked like they were recently updated, bathroom was great. Mainly just the bed situation and the floor needs a good mopping.

It was loud all night!! the people upstairs were stomping around and just terrible! Don’t expect to sleep. The people around the area are super loud. I guess that’s what I get for being right across from the boardwalk.

The owner was very rude. We asked for towels since we stayed two days at this property. We had to give them back our dirty towels to get new clean towels. We had two cars to park because my husband met us there after work. The owner came up to the car and told my husband listen to me I don’t listen to you and he instructed him to park in a certain spot even though they were not sold out of rooms. There was plenty of parking space available. The owner asked his employee to see how many people we had in our room. There were two adults and two children. Get some training in customer service.
