Room was clean and spacious. Electrical outlets were not available or did not work correctly, especially around vanity. Lighting was inadequate to do makeup at bath vanity. Lighting throughout room was either glaring white or off- there was no reading-level, comfortable lighting available. There were steel brackets protruding from the bed frame below to out beyond the side walls of the mattress, rough-edged and unprotected, which could easily cut or scratch one's legs or arms severely. I discovered these when I swung my legs out of bed in the morning; luckily, I only brushed lightly across one. Soap dispensers were oddly and incorrectly mounted near vanity and in shower. More bath linens would have been useful; the supply was marginal.

Nice Inn for the Price
The inn was definitely a little old, and it shows. The shower head in the room we got was slightly coming off the wall. The walls are also very thin, we could hear the people next door speaking loudly and blasting their music. That said, the room was very comfortable. The room was clean and was tidied up well after we came back for the night of the stay. It has a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. It also is pretty spacious and the shower worked well. Overall, it's a nice inn for the price. It is a little old, and it isn't maintained the greatest, so there are better options around the area. Check this one out if you want to save some money and don't mind an antiquated building.

Non-nonsense inn, clean, you can feel It’s old, but maintained and had A/C. Blankets should be changed as there were cigarettes burns ☹️. Overall OK.

Clearly this place has been recently remodeled. Everything in the room is clean and new, and the room was fairly spacious. My only complaints are: the lighting is so blindingly white, it's like opening a refrigerator- and no table lamps. The wall sconce lighting is too "white" and the charging outlets are on the sconces- how do I plug a phone into that? The other problem is that if you have a lovely balcony view of the boardwalk, and like to open the window to enjoy the breeze at night, be ready for non-stop traffic, guys revving their engines, noisy car radios, etc, all night long. I'd rather pay more and stay on the west side.
