Michelle

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Booked room due to location. Was very disappointed by the horrible mattress. Needed to be replaced years ago. Loudness of doors closing and footsteps quite jarring in the middle of the night. But the real nightmare was the neighbor who kept me up all night with loud music and ranting using fowl language.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room squatters causing our room to be changed twice, hair in our "clean" towels, smoking rules unenforced, an unwired bedside phone just for decoration, and random people walking up off the street to take advantage of commentary breakfast. Need I say more?

Liked proximity. Our first room assigned had no smoke detector and you could push the door open - the jam was broken. Reassigned and moved to a better room but still many items like screens in disrepair. Stair railing dangerous and has huge screw sticking out.

Good value for the price
The room was dated with a big hole in the black out curtains but it was clean and very close to the board walk and pier. Staff were fine and continental breakfast was good. Not posh but good value for money.
