Classic hotel with close access to the boardwalk and beach. Pool was excellent. Only real negative is the tanning deck area (to access the pool) was painted a very dark brown and it will burn your feet in a hot second. Deck should have been stained or painted a light color since most people do not wear shoes in the pool or while going from the pool to the chairs.

Last minute reservation. Had no expectations except with Expedia reviews. Very nice hotel, staff super friendly and accommodating. The room are old but clean. Don’t expect a luxurious 5 stars hotel. The price come with it. If you have that in mind you will enjoy your stay. Next to the beach, full kitchen, big balcony with side view, spacious room, 2 beds and 1 pull out sofa bed. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again. The staff made all the difference! Nice, friendly but respectful. Will not knock on the door if you have the « no service » sign but if run into you outside will offer you fresh towels and linen sheets. They are the best.

We liked that we had a water view from our balcony and we were able to walk to the beach and boardwalk within 2 minutes. Also we enjoyed having a kitchen. We didn't like that you could ear everything!!!!! the bathroom was too small for multiple guest.
