The location of the property is great! Right on the beach. The room did have a mildew smell when we first arrived, beds were comfortable and had a good size kitchenette. The pools are small and not the cleanest. Definitely family friendly and quiet. You have a bit of a walk to get down to the shopping at the boardwalk, they have a little hotel restaurant and a couple little places for food within a couple blocks.
The weather was not cooperative for this day, but I go to this hotel every year for my mini beach vacation. This hotel is clean, the staff is very accommodating and friendly, and the hotel bar has great food, yummy drinks and the bartenders are wonderful. This is a family, friendly hotel.
There was dirt on the lamps- the front desk lady did come up and scrub most of what she could get off. There was also a terrible marijuana smell on the floor and in the elevator. The screen door was not on. The night front desk lady said maintenance would be in between 8am-9am the next morning and the general manager should give me a call. I had to go back to the lobby to ask for someone to fix the screen door and still never heard from the general manager about the issues i had. The night front desk lady was fantastic and the restaurant was amazing.
It was cheap but not worth the stay if you like cleanliness.They need to upgrade everything including the dingy white bed sheets.The smartly is awful.It was very peaceful.You get what you pay for.
The area of the hotel was great! The room itself wasn’t very clean the sheets had dirt like smudges on them and the pull out bed was disgusting.
The food is amazing and is really good for the price!
