room maintenance issue

The hotel was clean and conveniently located near the boardwalk. Staff were friendly, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. However, I didn't receive my $100 deposit back after a week and had issues with room maintenance that detracted from the experience.

lack of breakfast

The recently renovated room was clean and spacious, a perfect fit for our family with two kids. We loved the quick 5-minute walk to the boardwalk, which made it easy to access all the fun activities. Plenty of pillows added to our comfort.

My kids wished there were breakfast options available for a quick grab before heading to the beach.

spotty wi-fi

We had a comfy stay with a nice pool area to relax after a day by the beach. The hotel offered a great spot to unwind and was perfectly located for some fun nearby activities. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty during peak hours. 😊

Fantastic Stay with Great Amenities!

We had a fantastic two-night stay! The location was perfect for beach walks, and the King Room provided a cozy atmosphere. Experienced friendly service at nearby restaurants. recommend the breakfast spot with stunning ocean views. Pro tip, limit TV volume for a better night's sleep.

Couples with a taste for adventure beware

Had a balcony room, which was nice for morning coffee. The staff was courteous, and check-in was a breeze. The space in the room and the bathtub? Quite spacious.

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but you know, I guess you get what you pay for.

loud fan

The overall vibe felt a bit rundown, starting with the parking lot, where a guy was tinkering with his truck while blasting music from his room. The property features a curious sand-filled puddle where a pool used to be. its dilapidated fencing made it clear there hasn’t been any upkeep for a while. Also, the bathroom fan was ridiculously loud and stayed on way longer than preferred, creating a less than relaxing atmosphere. I also encountered a deposit issue, with unexpected charges that felt like a scam, lingering in my bank account after my stay.
