Andy was very helpful and friendly. Every employee from housekeeping to the pool man were also approachable and friendly. We loved how the pool was in the middle and private from the public. The boardwalk was a short and pleasant walk nearby.

It was ok. Read the details carefully. I failed and thought it was inside. It’s an open roof which means it’s cold and outside.

Great hotel. Close to the boardwalk.
1-night trip

4/10

Staff was nice and friendly. Close proximity to boardwalk. The condition of the hotel felt a little run down. There was a gap under the door to the outside, exposed wires from missing smoke detector, holes in walls from previously mounted fixtures, remote didn't work on tv, mattresses didn't match the bed frame. Room did have mini fridge and sink outside the restroom, which was kinda convenient. Overall, I will most likely not stay here again for the price I paid. Felt more like a $90 hotel, not a $250

No one at front desk upon 5pm arrival, which is typical check-in time especially for a Friday. Waited 40 minutes for a staff member to arrive. - no soap for sink -no soap, shampoo, or conditioner in shower - only 1 washcloth for a room with 2 beds. - no one at front desk to provide missing items. Front desk clerk was seen mostly outside not attending the desk.
