A/C only blows outside air, probably needs recharge, and the unit was filthy. Room was very stuffy and you can't open windows. No drapes, wood shutters don't close tight so excessive light at bed time. Road/traffic noise outside very loud so hard to get to sleep. Bathroom shower black mold. Ice machine broken, juice machine broken, soda machine broken. Location near the boardwalk though if you can put up with the above. After we left, the manager added a $5.70 charge to our cc although we fully paid through Orbitz. I called and he said that was a mistake and he would take it off.

I liked that the hotel was right down the street from the boardwalk and for a great price. Only thing that I did not like was there was only 3 available channels on our tv when it was time to lay down and rest so we couldn’t watch anything interesting. It’s a good hotel though.

No towels, no tissues, no t.v. guide no safe way for a disabled veteran to access the rooms provided. The stairs were unsafe and hazardous with a pot hole at the bottom of the stairs, almost broke my foot. The parking is a joke must find a place in the neighborhood, not a good situation.

Check in took quite awhile even though I’d already gone thru the online check in process. The pool was freezing cold and the surrounding area looked somewhat unkempt. The short distance to the Boardwalk was great, merely steps! The biggest concern for me was the locking of the door: the deadbolt could lock from inside, but there was no way to lock it front the outside when going out for the day. Worse than that though was the extra lock on the interior door that was loosening from the door and didn’t even stay on. Luckily I had a screwdriver and some wood glue, so that room is all good for now, but who knows about the rest.

The room was clean, for the most part. Besides the mold on the ceiling of the shower. The parking is the worst. Not only is it very narrow to pull in/out, there is very limited parking spots. People parked there that weren’t even staying there, which would subject you to parking on the street and you’d have to pay for that. They also allowed kids and families to swim in the pool, screaming and playing loud music until almost 1am. If you want quiet and relaxation, this hotel is not for you.
