Place was great perfect location. Only thing was that staff at front desk was kind of rude and just told you to go to the check in kiosk when I had other questions, they were helpful the one time I needed something tho so not sure what to say abt it. Ac works great rooms and property were very clean and location once again was amazing!

Well, it was definitely nice and clean and a good location. Staff was friendly enough, but our t v wasn't working. And they promised to come, fix it for us, and never did. I accidentally left a blanket there. And when I came back for it that night, they said housekeeping was closed and lost and found was not available till the next day. I mean, the inside pool was lovely and the hot tub too, and there was plenty of parking. The shower curtain was so strangely fitted, that it did not keep the water in the bathtub and ended up saturating the floor of the the bathroom, had to ask for extra towels to soak it up. But the price is right, and I would stay there again. Who needs t v anyway.

Very clean. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. My husband is an amputee and I forgot to request a downstairs room when I booked and they were kind enough to accommodate us at check in. Definitely will stay there again.

The room was clean but the pool being my first stop made it really hard to give this place a good review. The hot tub was discolored and there were worms all over the windows. It was really gross. While the location is convenient, I wouldn’t stay here again.

The pool and hot tub was highly chlorinated. The property can seem a little unsafe. It’s close to the beach but a good walk. Staff was emotionless. I like that there was snacks and the microwave is a major plus. Bed is hard and springy.

Our stay was great however parking was horrible and the hot tub was dirt. I tried calling the front desk 4x I was hung up on then never answered. It was an easy walk to the boardwalk and the size of the room with 3 beds was surprisingly comfortable.
