How close it is to the boardwalk. And the free coffee and tea 24hrs. Close to everything you need.
United States of AmericaSo much to love! The Carousel Beach Inn is right across the street from the Boardwalk and the beach. This was so convenient! Our room was on the first floor and had a private patio with a table and two chairs. The room itself and the bathroom were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We enjoyed eating our breakfast in the outdoor courtyard right outside our room’s door. The staff was friendly and helpful. We hope to stay here again & will recommend to our family and friends.
