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!

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 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.

Not the best area, but not terrible for the price, and the pool and hot tub are open until 10pm which is nice. Seemed like a lot of "street business" was being conducted around the property and of course the usual fighting/screaming couples was ever present. Also, the sink in the bathroom was clogged and wouldn't drain properly due to who knows what was dumped down it previously, so I had to clear that myself which was a little disgusting

We had a good stay and brought our dog! Pretty bare bones room. Not even a box of Kleenex in the room. Luckily there was a small, very dry soap to wash our hands, but that was it. No shampoo or anything .There was a coffee pot, fridge and microwave. Our bedding and pillows had stains on them. Walkable to the boardwalk. Great price for a holiday weekend.

The old saying, "You get what you pay for" is exactly what I experienced. My room was fine but it looked dirty even though it was clean. The place seemed old and gave off those "uncleaned" vibes. However, my bed was very comfortable. I also enjoyed the hot tub and pool. Both were indoors which I found highly preferable. For the price, I would stay again.

ROACH ALERT! The best things about this hotel is the location (walkable to beach and boardwalk) and the indoor pool. The rooms themselves are not in good condition. The floors are cracked to the extent that you do need to warn your kids to be careful so they don’t get cut. At night I saw two cockroaches crawling on the wall and around the microwave so I can’t say I was able to get any rest. Terrible.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was reasonably clean and had the usual amenities. Trying to check in was difficult as they use a kiosk to check you in and the scan feature wouldn’t work so after several tries I had to email a copy of my drivers license. They only give you one room key and it is difficult to get any help from staff if needed. The hotel is older and run down. Forget about finding parking later at night so be prepared to walk everywhere so you don’t lose your spot. The only positives were the proximity to the boardwalk and the air conditioning was decent but loud.
