Love that this hotel is right across the street from the main beach, boardwalk arcade and much more. Our room had the best view! The street infront is noisy during the night and restaurants around are cooking so you cant really leave your balcony open it will stink up the room. The first night our front desk lady was super nice and accommodating, gave us a complementary upgrade, when we wanted to extend our stay 1 more night, new people were at the front desk and they were not as nice and made me pay full price even though i wanted to stay in same room with same price from the night nefore. Not sure why 1 person can do an upgrade and another one cant. Overall, its a good hotel, new everything, perfect for having a kid kid that lobes going to beach and all the places that are around this hotel. We also stayed during very slow time so not sure how expensive it hets during busy season.

It was a comfortable stay. The beds were clean and comfy. The room was comfortable for 4 people. There was no lock in the bathroom and only a sliding door so make sure the sliding door is shut all the way through. The lamp in between the double beds was not working. It was fine since we were mostly out at nigh and didn’t need it to be on. The parking lot was all the way in the back as the main parking area is a little tricky to get in and out. Overall stay was nice but nothing to write home about. I like the convenience of having the boardwalk across the street and it was walkable distance to shops and restaurants in the area. Beach across the street is very convenient. Overall stay was fine.

Great location, but definitely not worth the price. The lighting in the room/bathroom was terrible. We also paid $100 extra a night for the balcony, which was flooded. They did take off the parking fee for the inconvenience. Overall just ok.

I didn’t like parking only one way in and one way out. If you park on top and your room is not located near the stairs you have to walk up and down the stairs. They should have had two stairs opposite ends of the hotel. Also when I reserved the room it showed rooms with a tub but I was told that the hotel had only two rooms with tubs of all the rooms just two tubs? If I would have known that I would have stayed at a different hotel because I needed one for my wife because she had a leg injury her doctor told her to soak her leg.

Book this hotel!

The hotel is in an amazing location right on the beach. The room was stunning very clean and great facilities. Check in was nice and easy. The only slight issue was our room was right next to the coffee shop which opens at 7 am so its quite noisy from about 0630 onwards. If you're a heavy sleeper it'll be fine! Overall a great place.
