“The hotel's prime advantage is undeniably its proximity to the boardwalk; a breezy five-minute stroll puts you right in the heart of the action. Rooms include practical amenities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, addressing basic traveler needs; however, I think improvements could be made in soundproofing. A convenient, no-frills option for beachgoers.”
