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

It's not a bad place to stay. Close to the boardwalk. Tight parking but beats daily valet parking at the better hotels. I wouldn't mind staying again.
