Great Location! Right on the beach and a short walk to the strip. Super clean and the on-site restaurant was great. A must stay.

The staff was great, very professional and pleasant to deal with. The property itself was VERY underwhelming for the price point. Sure it’s oceanfront, however the amount we paid was not justifiable in terms of the room itself- very small, even tinier bathroom, no coffee machine, and mini fridge had leftover food from the previous guest. It lead me to feel unsure about how many other things in our room that were left not cleaned. Room felt very cramped compared to the other oceanfront properties that we typically stay in. We will most likely not be returning to this location. Vespera next door had the same price point and their rooms looked beautiful but unfortunately they were completely booked.

This hotel was clean and the staff was very nice. It was very easy to walk across the boardwalk to the beach and loved we could have smores at sunset.

In a 2 queen bedroom (303). The wooden bed frame is large for mattress. Both my husband and I (me twice him once) bumped into wooden frame when rounding corner . We both came home w bruises above the ankle area (him more serious as skin was broken).
