Right next to the boardwalk but hotel is a bit dated. Very small and narrow parking lot. If you have a big vehicle then good luck getting in and out.

First time staying here and it was really convenient! Walking out the boardwalk through the arcade it’s about a 2 minute walk to the room. Check in was a breeze. Park, check in, and front desk helps you find a spot. Would definitely stay here again.

Probably the closest to the Boardwalk. Walkable to Boardwalk, beach, and wharf. Parking is tight. Our A/C was non-operable during a very hot weekend. I didn't notice that they said there's no elevator. There are a lot of stairs. The staff is friendly and helpful.
