You’ll have to pay more for good quality hotel.

The room smelled like mildew. The toilet took two flushes to empty. The air conditioner made a loud rattling sound after running several hours. I had to turn off the air conditioner and restart in the middle of the night. The portable refrigerator was wobbly and froze everything even when on the lowest setting. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, parking and beach passes were included and it was close to the beach and boardwalk.

Front desk staff was great and our room was ready an hour early. Room was mostly clean but quite old. Some fixtures and furniture looked dirty - like the sofa. Mold could be seen around the premises. But the stay was overall nice. Was a good place to stay in a pinch.

Couldn’t find our room when we first got there because the room #s do not make sense lol. But outside of that it has a nice pool and super friendly staff. It’s walkable distance to the beach. Will definitely be booking here next year for our annual trip.

Great quick beach stay

Great overnight stay with my son for a quick beach trip. Parking is challenging in the area but they do have several different lots nearby to accommodate guests! SO close to the beach, and staff are friendly and accommodating.

Wrongfully accused

Our Stay was nice, however when we got home my husband noticed an additional charge. He inquired about it and the hotel is accusing us of taking 6 pillows - total lie. No offense but no thank you to hotel pillows!
