"Decent hotel in a great location, very central to downtown Rockland and the boardwalk is a 4 minute walk away. Fairly clean, but could use some slightly better blinds for the window (got the room with no outside window, but still one to the hallway) AC works, but is a bit loud, still slept great though. Would stay again and recommend it."
