Don't trust the Pictures

I stayed here for an event based on its price and location, not expecting a luxury experience, but after seeing the pictures online, I thought it would be decent. Unfortunately, my expectations were far from met. The walk to my room on the 3rd floor was unsettling — it honestly felt like the floor could give way. Once I entered the room, the smell hit me immediately, a musty, abandoned-house kind of odor. The sofa was in poor condition, with visible cuts on the armrest. The door had noticeable gaps around the edges, allowing light and a draft to seep in, and it was dented all over as if it had been repeatedly punched. The worst part was the bed: it was broken, uncomfortable, and made awful crunching sounds every time I moved. It was so bad that we decided to check out early and drive home, even though it meant eating the cost of the room. If this is how the hotel is off-season, I can't imagine paying peak prices. This was a major disappointment, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The door barely closed, you could see light . through the entire edge of door. Bed was broken, shower knob was broken and hard to turn water on and off, noone asked if we needed extra towels which were hair towels not body towels, many soft spots in the flooring outside of the rooms. The only positive was we were close to the beach. The rooms were definitely over priced for the conditions.

The room was in disrepair and smelled terrible. Loose tiles around the shower. Toilet seat fell off. Broken bed springs. Gaps in the wall around the ac unit. Shortened our stay. Only stayed the first night because we arrived late and had pre-payed online. Couldn’t wait to leave. One very good thing was the proximity to the boardwalk. Across the street from an entrance ramp. Pool looked nice but we didn’t stay to enjoy it.
