The owners are so sweet and we go there every year if not twice a year... Everybody's there to have fun and if there's a little bit of noise we don't mind. Free breakfast and they always let us get a late check out at 12:00 it's 3 minute walk to the boardwalk and there's plenty of places to eat right by us. There is a karaoke bar inside of the bowling alley that only takes about 2 minutes to walk to. Right before you get to the boardwalk there's a little surf shop and everybody that works there is amazing and helpful.

Rooms smell like chemicals, especially bleach. It was so bad one member of our party got physically sick. We tried another room and it was the same. Perhaps others won't experience it but keep in mind even if it's not that strong the fumes are toxic and are not healthy for anyone to breath in. Pay a few bucks more and go elsewhere there is really nothing special about this place worth dealing with this. We left almost immediately.

We stayed only one night and it was great! I like that the shower pressure was great and that shower stayed hot! Plenty of room to walk around. Breakfast was hot waffles you make yourself, boiled eggs, and sausage, cold cereal and hot cereal packets. Juice, coffee and tea and bananas. I would definitely choose this place again. Oh forgot to mention the Boardwalk is within walking distance
