Great location!
Great location. Easy walk to the wharf for dinner. The boardwalk is close and if you like bowling or miniature golf they are both within a two-minute walk. Also close to beach volleyball and the sand. The proprietor was kind and helpful.

Room was clean had all necessities. Easy to get around on foot. A lot of noise from adjacent businesses and very hard to sleep at night. Hot water did not work at first in both the sink and shower, but eventually started to work in shower. The bathroom had a gas smell coming in for a while but eventually dissipated.
