    A few things to be aware of: there is no air conditioning, although a fan is provided. The office closes at 8:00 p.m., so there is no staff on-site overnight, the night manager is available by telephone if needed. The showerhead could also use an upgrade. Overall, it’s a nice place to stay, and I enjoyed my visit. I would consider staying here again.

    This property is right next-door to a popular restaurant called the Oyster Bar. I had a bonus free concert that I could listen to from my window on one of the nights I stayed. The bed was very comfortable. To get to the boardwalk, I just had to cross the street. They had coffee tea and delicious cookies every afternoon. The breakfast was Continental style. Lots of pastries, fruit, hard-boiled eggs,oatmeal, tea, and coffee. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

    The place alone is very cozy and quintessential beach town, with the ocean right across a small street. The space is large, beds are comfortable. However, management could do better. We had an electrical outage and the fire alarms went bonkers at 5am- no answer from management. I had to call the non-emergency line and the fire department came. This was not how I wanted things to go on my vacation, and management didn't even address the issue with me. When I approached the receptionist at checkout it was almost like nothing had occurred and no remedies were offered.

    Super cute and quaint spot right on the water. The only reason we give it four stars is because we have high standards for beds and this one was not very comfortable. Other than that super rad and spitting distance from the most sought after restaurant out there

    Im racking my brain trying to come up with anything I wasn't 100% happy with.... I can't.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We arrived very late (after mid night) and the office is closed. Thank god they have ver clear instructions and I was able to reach the hotel manager. The manager is very nice and helpful and gave me clear instructions to reach my keys. The hotel location is great just right across the Moonstone boardwalk. The lobby/patio area is cute and cozy. Room is comfortable. The bathroom needs some love.

    Location was fantastic and the room was a good size. Very comfortable beds and very clean. Breakfast was pretty limited.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was clean and nicely appointed. The view looked across the street to the ocean. The view looked across the street at the ocean until parked cars obscured that view. The continental breakfast was adequate but uninspiring. The bedding was either too hot with the stuffed duvet, or too cold without.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Very nice hotel right at the beach. The room was perfect with balcony at the front facing the ocean. Great view and atmosphere. Close to all the great restaurants. Access to the beautiful board walk along the coastline.

    Location! Friendly staff. Nice continental breakfast and delicious afternoon cookies. The only thing I missed was a comfortable chair in the room. Only 4 dining chairs which are not ideal for lounging .
