Beautiful view

The ocean view was amazing! We were on the bottom floor and the air conditioner leaked, there is no drainage on the balcony floor so it was a sandy watery mess out there. The room definitely needed a good dusting. There were a large amounts of dust on the tops of the window curtains. House keeping was great and super friendly. The hotel is located in the middle of the boardwalk so it wasn't a far walk to check out both sides. I would stay again but try a upper floor room.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff was excellent and facilities were clean. We had an oceanfront efficiency. We didn't have a stove, just sink, microwave, a small fridge and toaster oven. The room was really small and had a step down from kitchen area that we kept tripping on. The parking lot was very tight. Nice pet area. Great private balcony with awesome ocean view. Elevator was very slow during the day. Pool area was nice, but should have restrictions on what is allowed in the pool so everyone can enjoy. A group basically took over the pool throwing footballs. We realize this is more of a respect issue from that group, but it shouldn't be allowed and should be listed on the pool rules. Overall the stay was good and liked the free coffee in the lobby.
