It was acceptable
The room was comfortable enough but it was a bit dirty and sketchy. Short walk to the boardwalk and a great view of the river though

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.

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.

You get what you pay for. The property is worn and tired but safe enough and reasonably clean. Traffic noise may bother someSince.
