Days Inn Suites
An enjoyable seven-block walk along the Boards will take you from this establishment to the amusement pier with all sorts of good stuff in between. All the rooms are suites, so their rates can be a little lofty depending on the season, but you can split it up among friends. The two-bedroom suite offers a kitchenette and living room and sleeps six. There's also a two-bedroom, two-bath "super suite" that sleeps eight. Poolside suites and the super suites are only available from March through the first week of November. As of 2010, an oceanfront suite runs $79 a night in the off-season, $264 a night at the height of the summer. Pools are heated and barbecue grills are provided.
