Amazing
Very friendly staff. View was spectacular from our room. Our family rooms were conjoined with our own very large private patio.

Vacant Lobby
It seems like the lobby was never staffed, we were not able to even check out properly or ask questions because nobody was there. We also waited like 2 hrs before we could check in because again nobody was there to check us in. Thankfully another resident happened to show up and give me the after hours number! Terrible experience
Honestly one of the best property’s I’ve stayed at in so so so long. Staff was super nice and helpful all of them always saying hi and in great moods. Let alone the room was amazing. Fantastic view , fantastic water pressure. When we first walked into the room you could smell how clean it was and not the harsh bleach smell of clean just clean clean smell.
Great location, right on the beach. Needs to be updated and remodeled. Cobwebs all over curtain bars. Hate when sink is outside bathroom. Had coffee in lobby would be nice if they had a few snacks also, fruit, muffins, something.
Looks recently renovated. Very nice. Will definitely be back.

I’ve stayed at this location multiple times. I continue coming back because of the location of the hotel. Right across the street from the boardwalk, pier and beach. The conditions within the room were subpar. The bathroom floors were warping due to water damage and the sliding door to the bathroom offered limited privacy. The beds weren’t the comfiest and I regret not bringing a pillow from home. 4/5 Stars for location and convenience alone.
