Staff is very accommodating and mattress is comfortable. Very convenient being across the street from 7Eleven for all the small things you may need like ice, toiletries, etc. Boardwalk, Sand, Ocean a block away (go ahead pack that little red wagon you won't be pulling it far). For first-timers, yes that is a separate section in the back of the room where the pullout couch and it's own separate tv sits. Don't let outside pics of Red Roof Inn dismay you -- room(s) size is great, ample parking, great location. Most of all I appreciate their no pet policy (nothing against pets, but not everyone wants them in their rooms where they sleep), and no carpet so if you are skeevy about carpet you can bring your own Swiffer and know the floors are clean by you. We had one night where kids were loud, but I didn't complain as you shouldn't try to control everything in life - also it seems like it were these teens first time at a hotel with some going outside without being afraid of what may or may not happen.
