What our guests says about facilities

Hotel has comfortable rooms, premium services, and a prime downtown location

Spacious Getaway

The corner oceanfront room was a highlight of our stay, providing ample space to relax. The large, private balcony was perfect for enjoying morning sunrises and evening breezes, allowing us to unwind in comfort and style.

Convenient Access

The beach access was incredibly convenient, allowing for easy return to our room for bathroom breaks and refreshments. The paths were clearly marked and made our time enjoyable without the hassle of navigating difficult terrain.

Refreshing Pools

The outdoor pool was absolutely good, with crystal-clear water that invited us to take a dip. It was well-sized for swimming laps, and the adjacent bar made it easy to grab a quick snack or drink while soaking up the sun.

Tasty Snacks

We loved having Grotto Pizza and Fractured Prune Donuts on-site. The convenience of grabbing a delicious pizza or warm doughnuts just steps from our room was an unexpected delight that made our stay even more enjoyable.

7.4/10

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel, particularly enjoying the spacious oceanfront suite and the easy access to both pools. The location is a huge plus, as it provides a quieter environment while still being steps from the boardwalk. However, we faced some frustrating issues with parking and a lack of responsive service from management, which detracted from our overall experience.

Rooms

8.0

The oceanfront suite was spacious and had a great layout, although it felt a bit narrow between the beds and dressers. Overall, the room was clean and well-maintained.

Service

5.0

While most of the staff were nice, we encountered some significant issues with management regarding parking and requests for additional supplies. This inconsistency in service was a letdown.

Location

9.0

The hotel is ideally located right on the boardwalk but still manages to be a bit removed from the noise, which is perfect for those wanting a quieter stay.

Dining

7.0

Having the option to order beverages and pizza at the pool was a nice touch, but we didn't explore many dining options during our stay.

Facilities

8.0

The indoor and outdoor pools were both clean and enjoyable, providing a great way to relax. We appreciated the ability to unwind in either area depending on the weather.
