Great little spot to walk to the Boardwalk- about 5 minutes. There’s a soccer park right across the street and it was used all day. If you need it quiet, this isn’t the spot for that. The room was as expected. Had everything I needed and was clean. There’s even a little keurig machine.

Great value
The lodge seems to be located in a less desirable part of town as evidenced by warnings to hide anything you leave in your car, fences around nearby properties, and by the fact that the front office is closed to customer access; however we had no problem with theft or unpleasant experiences. The room was uncarpeted which I prefer as a cleaner option to carpet. It was clean and had no damages, nicely decorated, and smelled clean. It featured a microwave and fridge and coffee machine, but no type of breakfast food. It was a great value for the price. My only complaint was having to stand outside to conduct business through a drive-through-type window with the front desk, although the staff was pleasant.
