Nice place close to the boardwalk and beach will come again
Great place to stay right on the boardwalk. Clean and friendly staff. Comfortable beds and a coffee shop right in the lobby. Am definitely coming back.
Always a great stay. Been coming to Lankford on the Board walk for the past 5 years.

Convenient to the boardwalk. The building is much older and is well taken care of however, I could not stay here again because the bed was the worst bed I’ve ever slept in in my life.
Great location and price. Nothing glamorous, but checks all the boxes for an inexpensive and super convenient trip to the beach. Also right on the boardwalk in a fantastic spot.
Exceeded my expectations!! Even tho the structure is old the place was clean, quiet and spacious. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything ypu need to make a meal, we even had a balcony with a view of the water. It was 100 degrees outside when we arrived and really appreciated the ac already being on and the room feeling nice and cold. There are numerous places to eat and shop right outside the hotel. The beach was right across from the hotel. The staff was friendly and there really is nothing i could complain about. Would definitely stay here again.

We flipping LOVE this place!!! Can’t wait to bring the family!
The location is wonderful staff was excellent hotel...it was my 1st time staying in a Hotel/Lodge. We only got it for one night until our check-in with the Airbnb. It got the job done. Also they gave me a late checkout because we arrived late night. The bed and the air in the place is all that.
It’s an older property that is well maintained. Our room was small, but very comfortable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The hotel is affordable and right on boardwalk/beach and they have a parking lot for their guests directly behind the hotel. We were happy with our decision to stay at the Lankford.
Love the old school beach house feel. If you want updated and modern, this place is not for you. If you want nostalgic and cozy, book here. We stayed in the Lodge Building. Small, but clean bathroom. Clean room, friendly & helpful staff. Not a plush hotel bed, but clean and comfortable. The cafe downstairs in the main building smelled great in the morning, although I did not eat there. Each floor had a common sitting area with a beachy feel (and a microwave). Would definitely stay again.
A cute little hotel located right on the boardwalk. Efficiency room was perfect for my one night stay alone. Very quiet. Bakery located on site and you walk out the door and you are on the beach.

What you expect from an old boardwalk hotel. Room was small but very clean, great location but a lot of noise from music blasting from restaurant below. No flexibility with checking in or out times like a request to be notified when a room might be ready, and no extension of any parking for even an hour or two after 10am checkout. So it's a tight 17 hour stay if you're there for one night.

We liked that it was right along the boardwalk. It was not the factious place along the boardwalk but the room had the essentials.
We wish it would have had a continental breakfast for all the guests. The best part we liked was the price. The price and the location will bring us back again soon.
