A typical Jersey shore location

Average for the shore. Below average for anywhere else. Pros: private beach, pool, restaurant on site, quick walk to the boardwalk games. Cons: there was an attempt to update features in the room but it still like a cheap Jersey shore motel (bathroom where the door hits the toilet, loud ac that needs to be on at all times to keep the smell away, 80s fixtures in the bathroom, deck that was in desperate need of repainting), WiFi didn’t work, overpriced for what you are getting.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a truly comfortable and relaxing experience. The bed was incredibly cozy — one of the best hotel beds I’ve slept in! The cleanliness throughout the room and common areas was excellent, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is also fantastic — close to everything yet peaceful enough to feel like a true getaway. One suggestion for improvement: it would be great if the hotel could designate one of the pools and one or two buildings for families with children, and keep another pool and building exclusively for adults. During our stay, there were quite a few kids running along the walkways, knocking on doors, and even hitting them, which disrupted the otherwise serene environment. A small change like this could enhance the experience for all types of travelers. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and I’d definitely return — especially if they implement that simple separation to better accommodate both families and adults seeking peace and quiet.

The first day we arrive we were put in a room beachside. Room was very old needed updating. But the smell was unbearable. Musty and moldy. That evening we requested another room. After an hour and a half they finally agreed to move us to the main hotel across the street. Not beachside. Much better!! Morning staff is a little rude. Afternoon staff was wonderful.

Everything came out good, its not that cheap though. With the fees added $700 for 2 nights. I would suggest to increase a little more cleanliness in the indoor pool section. The rooftop of that is dirty can ruin your pool . Overall love it. Weather was kinda bad , other than that they have options. Also so many things around.
