Very clean and cute room. Need more towels. Very good location close to beach and many nice restaurants. The first guy who did our check-in was very nice but the other guy who was working at the lobby on our last day knocked our room to put us out when I was taking shower. He didn’t know we paid for late check-out. It was not nice. Otherwise, we enjoyed staying.

The concierge was excellent and so helpful took care of anything we needed and answered all our questions. The room was great and pretty quiet considering its location. But it at the quieter end of the main road. Great people watching at happy hour. The upstairs pool was fun for my kid. Would def go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Local House . We were told a day before our stay that elevator is not working , which I felt was a little bummer . But the staff way above and beyond to make that as non issue by helping us with stroller and bags. And also gave option to leave stroller downstairs .They were very playful with my little one and ensured we have comfortable stay . They also arranged for Crib , came with surprise bday cake in the morning ( though my husband asked for it ) but it was nice gesture at their end to come with candle and celebrate with us. Lastly the food at Local house restaurant was super delicious and the ambience was great with live music.

It was a gem of a property in a wash of older hotels. Loved the restaurant and top floor pool area. No ciew of the ocean but right next door. I used the boardwalk to run twice a day along the beach. Wonderful

Property was very nice & clean and staff was top notch, would have gave a perfect 5 but the elevator broke down after a bad storm for the last 2 days and stairwell door was outside the hotel, so we had to walk up and down the flooded stairwell, and outside in the rain to get to it, although they accommodated us as much as they could with umbrellas and offered to bring our luggage down, I felt like the elevator was a bit jumpy on the Fritz even before the storm so it may could have been avoided, although the inspection for the elevator was dated fall of 2024. Definitely will be back if the elevator is fixed!

Very nice property overall. Great location close to beach, very friendly staff, clean rooms, and quiet area but close to all the nightlife and restaurants you could want. Beautiful rooftop area. Only negatives were the shower and the elevator. Shower was finicky to adjust temperature and sometimes took 3-5 minutes to get hot water to arrive. Elevator was slow and made noises that didn't inspire confidence. On our last day it broke down, and the host showed us how to access the (locked) stairs with a numeric code as a workaround. Elevator was fixed quickly but we opted to use the stairs after that to avoid the risk of getting stuck. All that said I'd still recommend the place and would probably stay there again.
