Very comfortable. One item to addressed (room 206). There are ten cylinders outside the window that turn on and off, throughout the night that are very industrial sounding.

Location was the best part
The Inn is in a great location. Front desk could be a lot friendlier and more accommodating. The included breakfast bowl/burrito had no taste (bland). The bathroom was tiny and there was no water pressure in the shower. No air conditioner. Good restaurant and beach steps away. The location was the best asset.

Nice room. Spacious and clean. Breakfast was good. They bring it to you. We walked the boardwalk and into town for lunch. We didn’t use the sun chairs the property provides to sit and look at the ocean because it was too cold. But very nice touch.

Staff were courteous, friendly and overall pleasant!! Overall, I really liked the room!! It was clean, with a decent comfortable bed. The only thing I disliked was the shower head. It needs to be replaced, preferably by a shower head that has options to change the water pressure. It was frustrating to feel like the shampoo in my hair was never going to rinse off, despite plenty of water coming out.
