“Great deal near the Wharf!”

We checked into this hotel and were so happy with the management and the recent remodel provided new carpet, furniture, bedding, etc so it felt really clean. For a good price you get a good location next to the beaches. Will certainly go back. We had a misunderstanding before arriving and the management was overly accomidating and pleasant, even upgraded our room!

“Cute place”

A rather cute place to stay though the only drawback I could find was the rather thin walls. We had an ocean view that we could enjoy while eating breakfast outside our room with the table and chairs provided. You're within walking distance of the wharf and boardwalk. A nice little place to stay.

“Reasonable place near the wharf”

Our room had a little kitchenette that made it possible to heat up some food in the room and eat there providing a pleasant break from restaurant meals. The tradeoff was that the room was a bit small as a result of the kitchenette. It was easy to walk to the wharf and the beach from here making it a great location. Breakfast was fairly minimal but they did offer some fresh fruit.

“Staff was nice !!”

The only thing that bothered me was the light switches in the room light up, and stay on all night long, which illuminates the room and I rather have a room that is completely dark when I'm sleeping. The light bothered me. Other than that, everyone was really nice. It was quiet,but I dont think many people were staying there at the time I was. It would be nice to have a waffle maker going for breakfast too. I'm not into cereal and pre-wrapped danish. The orange and apple juice was kind of watery too. I would deffinitely stay there again, just because the staff was super nice.

“We will be back!”

Great place for the price and perfect for those who wish to be a short walk from the Boardwalk, Wharf, etc. We loved the fact that we could park the car for the weekend and avoid the ever-growing traffic in the area. The room had a pretty good size refrigerator, a microwave and a coffee maker which was a pleasant surprise. Easy to bring sandwich supplies, breakfast goodies and snacks which really helps out when traveling with kids.

“Bait and switch”

When we arrived at Hotel, the website promised 1 King and Ocean View. We had a street view and the lady at the desk said, "oh we always get that." Hmmmm, which didn't help us out at all. Fairly clean, but the whole bait and switch thing turned me off. Bedroom was a bit musty and the breakfast was barely above "don't bother". Some fruit and pastries and coffee and cereal.

“Bait & Switch!”

The room was incredibly small and it was complicated to "upgrade" to the ocean view we thought we purchased in the first place. The "continental breakfast" that was included consisted of old apples and cheap patries in plastic wrap. We didn't have cold water in the room and I was literally burned in the shower. They found the problem and fixed it the following day.... Lastly, the front desk person really needs to be a bit more friendly..... However; with that said, the room was clean.

“Not Impressed”

Great location to the Wharf and Boardwalk! The room and such was not impressive. Front desk clerk wasn't very helpful.
