Bed was comfy. Extreme and constant hallway noise. Bathroom needed an update. Old, peeling wall paper, tub had a permanent sand stain, mirror had a black slash through it. Balcony was over dryer vents and lint was everywhere, along with heat and dryer scent. Room had a strange smell. Not worth the nightly rate. The lobby was very nice, but did not reflect the same dated decor as the rest of the hotel. Won’t book again .

I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again. Walkable to restaurants, store's, sites, transportation to travel from boardwalk to our hotel was 4.00pp ALL Day!! Room was comfy. My recommendations: Please support your staff to keep the kids out of the hot tub. We couldn't enjoy it AT ALL. Staff kept telling them to get out, but the parents allowed them in. My last recommendation, update the rooms ( at minimum take out the carpet). The sofa bed cushions were horrible. Overall, loved it! Bed was very comfy💕

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool area was clean and bigger than I thought. The beach is literally steps away. There is a dunkin, a cafe, a pizzeria, icecream shop and other stores within a 2 minute walk across the street. Mini golf close by and the boardwalk was a 10-15 minute drive. Would absolutely recommend this hotel and would stay again. We traveled with two small children and they loved it. I can’t forget to add there is a list of daily activities taking place daily which is also fun for the kids!
