Well, this was the least expensive hotel near where we wanted to be (on the beach in Ocean Grove). It's an old Howard Johnsons. It wasn't horrible. It's old, but the rooms were clean (minus the cigarette butts outside of our room) we liked the sliding door out to a little patio (with an uncomfortable bench). Id say we were "glamping". Bring your amenities - fridge and microwave in room - not great soap/shampoo - bring your own - towels were old but clean- even bring some folding chairs if you want to hang outside. There's a nice big pool. Our room looked over the grass which was ok - could hear the car wash all day - The Front desk person Maddie, was lovely and so nice! Everyone was very nice there. The breakfast was slim - coffee, cereal, bagels and toast, but enough to get your day going without having to go out. There's an Aldi across the street. We were just 10 min from the beach! It wasn't bad. We just stayed 2 nights. I wouldn't want to stay for a long trip.
