Comfy beds but walls are super thin and you can hear everything from your neighbors. Right on the beach in a perfect location! Hotel staff should always double check what rooms guests are in so you are not woken up in the middle of the night by another guest with access to your room. Room was clean though and great restaurants near by.

Room was clean but had some damages and mold around the shower. Mattresses were very old and hard. The side I slept on seemed like it had been the only side slept on and it felt like I was rolling down a hill. Room keys stopped working the second night and it took me almost ten minutes to find the person who was working the reception area to fix the issue. Convenience to the beach was nice. Parking situation was bad.

The room was never swept as there was sand under our feet.. The only sink in the room was clogged. We brought this to the attention of the front desk and it was never resolved.. they offered huge $100 credit which I I had to argue with Expedia to receive!! Never staying here or using Expedia again !!

This place had no heated pool, no beach access, doors that got stuck, parking spaces taken up by construction material, run-down elevator and public areas, a leaky toilet, and chemical smell in the lobby. It would have been just fine for a cheap motel, but not for the kind of price we were paying. However, the room was comfortable, and the location and the view were great.

I would be very mad if I had visited during peak season and found the exterior in the condition it was during this visit. Boardwalk to the beach closed for repairs. But the one you had to use made you question your life chooses. I am not that heavy, and the boards felt like they were going to give way. Other than that, it was a nice stay. Food places are expensive but what is not these days. Parking could be improved as you don't keep building supplies in the few places you have. But the lot a crossed the street worked for me but not for my wife who has mobility issue. Look clean up the exterior and get the building supplies out of the parking spots and it would have been great. The only other thing is the night guy Buring incents it made my nose run really bad I did not want to go in there. At check out the blond woman was very nice and very professional and the place didn't smell of incents. I would of like to try your breakfast, but the smell was not good. I will probably get a condo next time. the location is great and the town very nice so I will be back.
