The property was sorta disjointed. The pool is not connected to the main building. The pool bar is independent of the hotel. The rooms are dated ! The stove in the room has to be from the 60s a coil top that looks dangerous to use. The windows in the room were filthy. The staff member at the front desk check in was either petrified of being fired or NEW. She needed help. Overall experience was meh! I personally would recommend some where else.

Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a side view of the boardwalk and beach. The hall was narrow and the housekeeper had to move her cart into a room in order for us to pass with the luggage cart. The carpet in the hall was older and somewhat stained. There is only one elevator which was mostly okay except at check-in time. We enjoyed eating at the pool bar and also the pool on the roof which provides a great view of OC. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is just old and some things can't be remedied.

The room I stayed in was dirty, the room and property needs alot of maintenance. When I arrived the tub has hair and sand inside of it, only 3 towels for a king suite no wash rug. The jet tub was not working and the shower head is broken. The microwave and refrigerator have rust all over them. The hotel is located close to alot of attractions. The property needs to be updated.

We've stayed here before. Convenient to the Boardwalk. Check in staff wonderful! However, bath mat was torn and maid took our hand towels and didn't replace them. We asked for more and she said we have to wait for laundry? Front desk gave us 2 bath towels🙄. Cracks in ceramic towel. Phone didn't work. Needs definite updating!

Tiny refrigerator, little to no kitchen utensils to cook with in their suites. We had to purchase an air mattress for our daughter to sleep on because the pull out sofa wasn’t fit to sleep on. Floor in our room was very dirty and we had to ask them to clean it 5 times before they did. Swimming pools were filthy and they don’t tell you that you have to go to a different building to get to the deeper pool.
