Pros (+) The location, once one entered, was private, serene and quiet (if no basketball game in large arena close to Inn). The rooms were comfortable, bathrooms nice, little outside tables good touch, outside area with fire pit nice. Location close to beach, boardwalk and downtown area. plenty of restaurants close by. Fresh fruit and cereal available in lobby in a.m. Would stay there again.
Cons (-) Seemed right on edge of an area that felt a little iffy at night. People sleeping in doorways and on the street.

Cute and clean place but inside room and outside building just wasn't as polished as it appears in booking pictures. Ea...
