Admiral Motor Inn puts you just 3.2 mi (5.1 km) from the airport and within a 15-minute drive of Broadway at the Beach. Guests can hang out at the outdoor pool or seasonal outdoor pool, and freebies like WiFi and self parking are added perks.
Pros: right on the beach & boardwalk, had a pool when it got too windy for the beach, more than enough parking, and they let me do a late checkout Cons: slightly sketchy at night & shower backed up a little but otherwise all else was good
