Loved by guests
"Looooved this place- A 4 minute walk with our wagon to the Boardwalk helped save us at least one hundred bucks on parking because we had three cars."
"Location was a 9 min walk (w small kids) to the boardwalk."
"Having a hotel be more budget friendly doesn't always mean sacrificing other qualities."
