    The location was ideal for visiting the boardwalk. The staff were very helpful and had great recommendations for great food.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Very good

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The Hotel is very nice, very close to the beach, Boardwalk etc. My only complaints are for the price we paid we got a small room with double bed, not very comfortable, no closet, no microwave! 😔 I guess we paid for the convience of being close to the beach.

    Awesome place to stay! Nothing

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    They gave me a complementary upgrade to a suite location to the Boardwalk was less than five minutes. I had a partial ocean view with a balcony. The only downfall about the property is the parking lot. The parking is very tight if you have a larger car.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Extremely family-friendly and clean/maintained property. The staff was friendly and engaging and there was always someone available to assist with questions and requests. Super close to the beach and boardwalk with an added bonus of having a cute cafe there!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We had a great time and the staff were beyond great. Carpet in room was dirty but other than that the bathroom and beds were very clean and our experience was so good that we are going back for a Thanksgiving weekend

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    WIFI DOES NOT WORK. CHECK IN PROCESS IS VERY SLOW. CHECK IN WAS 4PM AND STILL WAITED FOR THE ROOM TO BE READY. FRONT DESK MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE "UNDERSTAFFED", HOWEVER, UPON ENTERING MY ROOM, THE ROOM BESIDE- THERE WERE 3 EMPLOYEES JUST TALKING. LOBBY'S AC IS NOT OPEN UNLESS CUSTOMER REQUESTS FOR IT TO BE TURNED ON.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was a bit small but nice and clean, I would have loved it if it was a more sq feet but since it was only 1 day, it was ok except maybe the toilet paper holder was fixed before hand since it would fall right into the garbage basket. I told the staff at front about when I checked out so hopefully they did and easy fix on it otherwise it was an ok and convenient stay…

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The was our 2nd stay here. So nice and convenient. Only wish there was microwave in room obviously not a deal breaker. See ya next time!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Super clean, well appointed and moderately priced.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was clean and most of the property was also clean. The parking wasn't the best, and the roof lot was on the dirty side. This location is right across from the boardwalk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Property was clean and a great location. Advertisement listed a pool but the pool was more like a children’s pool. Really not for swimming and that is the reason we booked with the hotel. Woke up very early to the sound of garbage trucks retrieving trash outside my room. Hotel staff could be more personable at front desk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Loved it will stay again

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, right next to the boardwalk. Easy to get in and out for small day trips in the area.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    A+ access to the beach/boardwalk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Wonderful place! Thank you

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We will always come here. We get the ocean view room with balcony and we just love it. To be able to sit out there at night and listen to water and people watch on the boardwalk. Just a neat little place. The only think I don't like is the parking. It's small but hey better than having to find parking somewhere!

    Exceptional
