“Rooms here offer surprising space and recent remodeling efforts are evident. The location puts you within walking distance of the boardwalk and a short drive to beaches, trails, and downtown, although being at a busy intersection does mean traffic noise. For those prioritizing value and location, this could be a contender.”
