Why are there so few plugs in 2025? I had to pull out furniture to have my phone (also my alarm) charge in the bedroom. The WiFi was super shaky (off and on the whole time). Front desk didn’t answer when I called. Staff wasn’t terribly friendly. I thought the place was fairly clean, until I moved furniture looking for a plug.

The location right on the Ocean was Great, but the carpet was very dirty, there was a stain on the couch, there were little nets in the room(most likely the drains), the gym had a spray bottle and rags to wipe down the equipment before and after use.

Needs work,but good location.

The hotel is very dated. Our room was not very clean. We also had issues with the balcony door lock and the toilet wasnt working properly. Bathroom sink was slow. There was no soap in the shower either. We notified the front desk. Soap was fixed. They said they fixed the toilet, but it still wasnt working. Told us the lock for the balcony was just the latch..even though there are directions on the door. Location is good. Beach access is also good.

We have stayed at other hotels on different beaches, most people say it’s outdated but compared to others I would say it’s about the same. The room was clean the bed was comfortable and the location was next to where they do free concerts. There was street preformers, a small grocery store across the street and the staff was very friendly. Not a 5 star but we didn’t expect it to be. Staying there again I would say absolutely.

There was trash next to the trashcan in the bathroom on arrival. The bathroom didn't scream clean, the hotel in general felt more Super 8 then beach resort. Did see a cockroach in the hall as we were going to the elevator to get to our car after checking out. Staff were decent, they did try to push some time share meeting junk on us, which is weird. Also they seem to have some weird obsession with mirrors, there was an almost full wall mirror in the main room and the bathroom had 3 different mirrors in it. One was above the toilet, waist height to ceiling. Also lighting in the room was mid. There was 2 light switches that did apperently nothing. Lastly the power outlet placement in the bedroom was terrible, on one side of the bed you had to move the nightstand to plug in a charger cause the outlet was near the floor. Even Super 8 can afford plugs on top of the nightstands. I shouldn't have to bring my own power strip to put my phone on the nightstand. Not worth the price at all,

Not what I expected

The location was great, but the condition of the property and the room was not good at all; the tub wasn't cleaned properly, the window curtains were dirty; Jacuzzi and sauna wasn't working and the amenities sucks. It definitely wasn't what I expected

Nice hotel and a really good location. Flew in and Uber'd to the accomodation and was really happy with how walkable everything was. Staff are very friendly and helpful. My one complaint would be the elevator - above the 6th floor you use the far away elevator and its also used by staff for their errands/jobs so at times you can wait an exceptionally long time to get down from the higher floors. Its a minor inconvenience though and barely a blot on a lovely stay away. Would visit the area again.

4 Nights Family Vacation

We stay for 4 nights in this vacation hotel, ocean sands beach front. We love the accommodation. You can cook. The only thing that needed to upgrade is the kitchen tools.. very cheap plastic.. can we have more appropriate kitchen utensils. Safer to use, greener.. small kitchen but its fine for family of 4. The living room with sofa bed and ceiling fan is ok. There is table for 4 and a big TV. In the bedroom, there is a Queen bed.. TV, closet for clothes. The best i love is the beachfront when we wake up we see the beach and the sunrise. There is a balcony. The only thing that needed to be change is the carpet.. its old and the sofa bed is old as well. The room is clean, no roaches and flies.. The hallway is clean. We are in 11th floor.. There is an aircon in the hallway. The issues is the elevator which is very slow.. I can understand because it is frequently use. There is an indoor swimming pool.. kind of small. The parking is safe and included in the rate. I got a 1 free night since i got to sign up with this vacation package. Hoping to come back very soon. I love VB..

Wonderful location and easily accessible to Boardwalk and beach. Pool and jacuzzi were also good. Resort is outdated which I didn’t mind as mind. I did mind the cleanliness - bathroom had hair in shower and floors were stained and clammy. Lobby was also smelly at times. I would still recommend for the price and location.
