Clean rooms, 3 minute walk to boardwalk. Breakfast was satiating. Facility in good condition, water refill station. For a balcony you need to book with partial ocean view or better. Parking spaces in the garage were very tight. Staff was quiet, not the friendliest but not put you off either.I would recommend this hotel.

Océan view made it worth the work.

Access to hotel was not convenient and I found it challenging to find entrance. Driveway was small and congested. Service was friendly and accommodating. Ordered food from outside delivery and had to come to lobby to pick up order left on a random table as service was not allowed to come to room which was inconvenient. Beautiful ocean view and room.

The actual property itself was fantastic . Clearly just been re furnished to a high standard The room was huge and we had a balcony over looking the pool. Bed was very comfortable and we slept well The only downside was the front of house/ welcome / support from the staff . They were quite abrupt and didn’t seem too friendly . When I asked if I could have a little more time to check out in the morning, I got a straight no.! Not even 30 minutes which I thought was a little unreasonable. Appreciate those rooms need to turned around but surely 30 mins would be ok. There is also a way to say no to customers and the person who I spoke to had no customer facing ability at all hence I’ve scored it down otherwise I would’ve given it a 10 out of 10.
