Nice stay but expensive for what you get

View and location is great! Shower was cold and never fixed within the couple days we stayed. Mattress is getting old and pillows need to be changed. Or higher quality. Noisy in the morning and nights as the walls are paper thin

We enjoyed our stay at this property! We had ocean front which was amazing Property management was very attentive for items that were left in the room and their return. Would definitely suggest ocean view room, right on the main drag next to the boardwalk.

I was in room 301 and could hear the person in the room above just walking across the floor. That's unacceptable for a hotel. Worse, the occupant above during my stay paced continuously and heavily both nights for at least 5 hours each time -- until after 2 a.m. I got little sleep. The foam earplugs provided just don't cut it.
