Overall, the room itself was very nice. The location is excellent. The biggest negative is the PARKING. Twice there was no parking available in the back lots by the rooms and I had to ask the front desk where I could park. It was around 11 pm both times and both times the front desk staff person said, “I don’t get your issue. There is one parking space open behind you right next to that truck.” The space opened when we were speaking as someone was idling in that spot and then took off. There were only open spaces in the back lots where the rooms are after 8 am and before 7:15 pm movies at the local theaters end. These details make a trip successful. Great location, clean and well kept rooms but frequently no parking spaces available by the rooms.

The people were really nice when checking in. The only negative thing i would say about the hotel is the rooms need updating. The hotel is a short walk to the Board walk very nice and convenient. There are people at the Board walk taking you to your hotel by bike taxi if you would like, if you are close by.

Entering the room it had a musty, moldy smell. Bathroom floor still had hair from another person on it. Front door had no safety lock. Water damage to the walls (probably what I was smelling). The worst part of the stay was this is a VERY loud hotel. The guests above me or next to me were partying well after 1am. I called down to the front desk twice and still didn’t hear them stop banging until after 3am. The front desk was rude on the phone like I was making it up! This hotel is VERY overpriced for what you get. I will not stay here again and I do not recommend it.
