My husband and I stayed here for two nights of our honeymoon and it was really great. The room as large and roomy and very, very clean. We had a large balcony that looked out at the water and though it was often too windy or cold to stay out on it (we're from Texas!) we did enjoy a great... More

Looking for a last minute getaway on Memorial Day, we found the Dream Inn available. Right on the beach with a pool and drinks to just relax. A great restaurant on site made it a great place for us just to relax. Great views from our room. If only it could have been 10 degrees warmer .... More

We arrived mid afternoon, close to check out time, so there was some activity at the registration desk. We were quickly greeted by the staff and offered service. I explained that we were simply stopping... More

This past weekend a group of old friends and I met at the Dream Inn for a weekend of fun! We picked the perfect hotel, hands down! The Dream Inn is exactly where we needed to be. The location was great, the decor was hip and funky, the rooms were perfect, the accessibility to everything was great. All in all,... More

We have stayed here for years due to the location and ease of parking. It is close to everything and yet with a relaxing ocean view. We got the family package and our granddaughter was delighted with the large plate off cookies and mil waiting when we returned from "Atomic" bowling. rooms are very comfortable. I would have preferred a... More

After many searches on hotels I chose the Dream Inn for its location with no other knowledge of the site. When we arrived the staff greeted us with smiles and were all so helpful, even out in the parking lot. We were given a room with a perfect view of the ocean, We could not have asked for more. This...

The Hotel is on the beach and the wharf is literally next door. It was a great trip walking distance to the boardwalk and a great view! More
