Good stay overall for the value !!
Pros:

Really good location clean and good value there is just two things that I didn’t like # 1 -homeless people sleeping outside the hotel during the day and at night as well # 2- the breakfast I know it’s ‘ free ‘ but nothing out of the ordinary just scramble eggs ( with no cheese ) at all and cold potato bites with gravy not my favorite but ah well it’s free..

Good
Pros:

It was fine. The rooms were clean and breakfast was good. It's far from the Boardwalk right next to the freeway so that is the only negative.
