This hotel was clean. This is right off the freeway entrance and was sometimes noisy. The breakfast was good. If you are just looking for some place to lay your head it completes that.

We would stay here again. The rooms are super Clean, the location is right of the high way but it’s quiet, the location is a 30 minute walk to the boardwalk; 5 minutes if you drive. they have private parking. Also, we really enjoyed the complementary breakfast especially the waffles, nothing fancy but enough not to have to go elsewhere and spend money.
