Overall a great stay.
Did a great job remodeling. Aesthetic is beautiful and cozy. Pool was great. Front desk staff amazing. Room could be a little cleaner. Stains on the wall like someone threw something and it was half cleaned, comforter had some staining. Would definitely stay again though, maybe cleaning staff had a off day.

Great place to stay!
The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. The room was exactly what we needed and very close to the beach/boardwalk. The pool was perfect (very clean) and the live music was a nice touch. Thank you for a fabulous stay in OC. We will be back!
