Top Central Hotel Reviews

Ocean Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wasn’t thrilled with the wi-fi. Needs to be stronger. The office staff were exceptional. Rooms were neat and well maintained. Pool was a plus."

Biscayne Suites

8/10 Good

"The property was well-maintained and very nice in a good location close to the beach and I really liked having the rooftop pool. Although I don’t think it was heated, but maybe it’s seasonally heated we went in August. The one piece of feedback I would offer is that when you are cooking and even making bowls of cereal, there’s nowhere to dry the dishes when you wash them so possibly a little strainer would be great because I was washing them and just setting them to the side or on top of the stove to let them dry Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay!"

The Coral Sands Motel

8/10 Good

"Staff was so nice and super helpful! I got a call right when I booked and felt secure in my choice. Had a nice family vacation with the dog too! We ate at the attached restaurant which was great. The rooms were nice and updated bathroom. The only issue was the 2nd bed. It was very hard and uncomfortable, and had sand in it when the kids got in. Otherwise, loved it and will stay here again!"

The Cove

8/10 Good

"Well priced, clean rooms, hot showers, updated bathrooms, decent swimming pool, plentiful parking, and close to shops and boardwalk. It was honestly a lot better than what previous reviews made the place out to be. Family stayed the first night and we stayed through the weekend. 10/10 would come back and recommend to others."

The Surf Club

8/10 Good

"It was fine for one night. But the room was SMALL and we found they had more of the same rooms available for close to $100 less than we paid. It was clean enough. No staff to speak of except for a remote dude talking to you from who knows where. It’s kinda feels like someone bought an old hotel and flipped it to make it look more modern?"
