The room smells funny. It’s like someone had smoked ham plus chemicals. We didn’t get to eat breakfast because I was told breakfast was from 7-10:00am. When we went down at 9:30, they said no, breakfast was over at 9:00 on weekdays. Oh well. Other than that, the staffs were nice.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
First, this room with two queen beds & a pull-out couch was insanely expensive at $400 a night for a fairly small room. They actually charge another $25 a night for parking, which adds insult to injury. They add another $100 as an "incidental" charge too, which allegedly comes off the bill a few days after your stay if you didn't partake of incidentals. Second, the pull-out couch was only slightly more comfortable than sleeping on the floor. Their was a stain on the couch itself & the mattress was a thin as a pancake. It squeaked loudly when you moved and it bowed in the middle. Third, there was almost no amenities in the room or lobby - no coffee & cookies/fruit for guests in the lobby (like Fairfield Inn), no napkins or extra toilet paper in the room, and no extra blankets & pillows. There were no brochures or magazines about the area. No description in room about TV stations & available movies. After multiple requests, we waited almost an hour for housekeeping to bring us sheets & blanket to make up the couch bed. Fourth, while the breakfast selection was decent, it was crowded on the weekend without enough seating for everyone. The breakfast room was actually the lobby itself. People were actually trying to make more setting on the couches and pulling up side tables. Fifth, the staff in the lobby were not particularly friendly, helpful or informative. The few positives - it was quiet, has a small pool & balcony, and is walking distance to the boardwalk.

It was a lovely property and I really enjoyed my room. I did think that more than doubling the price for Friday night stay was ridiculous. Breakfast was decent but very crowded in a small space. It was nice to have a dining area, but that was also very chilly.

We had a really nice stay. I reserved a partial ocean view room… the room we were given was ocean facing. :/ the facing direction with buildings in front, ocean could not be seen from the second floor. I think they could’ve done better or at least make their description accurate.
