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.

This is a great location, it’s very close to the boardwalk. The room we had was a suit a full size bed in the extra room. No mirror in the restroom and no working phone. Water leaked out of the shower. Other than this it was good. I would definitely stay again.
