Not happy with service

The room was very spacious and comfortable and it was great having a side view of the ocean and just being a few feet from the boardwalk! On the down side they only clean rooms on Wednesday and Saturday...so I called Wednesday morning to be sure our room was being cleaned and they assured me it would be. When we got back to our room at 9:00 pm, nothing had been touched...no new towels, no toilet paper..etc! I called the desk and they did bring up towels but made no effort to reschedule cleaning our room...so room wasn't cleaned or supplies replenished for the whole week we were there! Also early morning truck deliveries were right outside our room which made sleeping past 8 am pretty difficult!

This is a nice hotel with a friendly staff and is very conveniently located on the boardwalk. We stayed Sept 10th through Sept 13th and with parking, we sometimes ended up in the overflow parking lot which is about two blocks away, because of some type of motorcycle event going on in the area with hundreds of bikers in the area. Our dislike is that the bathtub/ shower does not have a "grab" bar to prevent a slip and fall.

My new OC home away from home

Loved this hotel…first time here and I can’t say enough about it! We stayed in the suites building: huge room, such a comfortable bed and linens, spa tub, kitchen, close to the pool, etc… The staff was so kind and efficient and the hotel was 1/2 block from the boardwalk and all of the places we love. I’ve stayed at some pretty gross hotels on the boardwalk that had decent reviews…this isn’t one of them! Loved, loved loved this hotel! Thank you Tidelands for an awesome stay!

The property was sorta disjointed. The pool is not connected to the main building. The pool bar is independent of the hotel. The rooms are dated ! The stove in the room has to be from the 60s a coil top that looks dangerous to use. The windows in the room were filthy. The staff member at the front desk check in was either petrified of being fired or NEW. She needed help. Overall experience was meh! I personally would recommend some where else.

I originally booked ocean front on expedia but only got a side view. Lock broken on door, but was fixed. Shortage of wash cloths. Eventually got a second one. Others had same problem. Cleaning seemed to consist of spraying a nasty smelling product. No coffee in lobby and attached coffee shop does not open early. On a good note, employees were friendly and new pool/bar area was nice. We will not go back.

Good time, clean room.

Tile floors are nice to have at the beach. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Location was excellent. I stayed in a room along the road. There was a good view of the beach from the balcony, but there was also a good view of all the balconies across the street. I enjoyed the real wood-board boardwalk. Coffee and NY bagel on the boardwalk downstairs was terrific.
