Felt unsafe due to large groups of people doing drigs drinking alcohol. Neighbors blasting clubbing music at 7am.

Comfortable bed

Bed was very comfortable. I got there late and left early so sleep was all I had time to do. Had a good night's sleep.

8/10 Very good

The location is very good, near the boardwalk. Although they charge $10 for parking it's still better than parking at the boardwalk. one can walk for 10mins to save $$. The hotel staff was quite nice and friendly. The manger allowed us to keep our car in the premises even after our checkout which was great. overall, a good stay.
Sushila, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

They take out $150 for deposit and do not give put it back in your bank account for 3 to 5 business days not good if you have a budget.
Carlos, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Extremely satisfied with our stay. For the price we paid, we had low expectations. But this was so close (walkable distance) to boardwalk, rooms were well maintained, beds were comfortable, swimming pool temperature was good even for a April first week evening time. I don’t think any other place would beat this place for the price we paid. Staff was great, particularly front desk/registration staff. Thank you! We had a fun time weekend.
Vishal, 1-night trip

No so clean

Unfortunately, the bed looked like linens had not been changed. There was hair on the sheet... went to the front desk to get new sheets. Got a new sheet for both beds, but I had to ask twice.

Nice Stay with Friends

We stayed overnight and had a good stay. They pushed our checkin time to 4pm but they also pushed our check out time to 12pm, which was ok with us! Our room was clean, parking was available, and we slept peacefully. Although we had wifi, the guys were bummed they couldn’t connect the PlayStation to it. We would definitely stay there again. The only issue I had was connecting with them by phone prior to using Hotels.com. I booked directly with them, yet when I called 2 days before, they didn’t have my reservation although all of my information was given to them. He said they would call me back, yet I never received a call back. Luckily, one of the rooms was available on Hotels.com. I would advise that if you use this hotel, book through Hotels.com. It would be the best way to go, especially since all communication is provided through the site. Other than that, all went well. Oh, be prepared to have the hotel to hold $150 on your card. We got it back timely but I wasn’t made aware prior.

Good stay!

We had a good night's sleep. The room was large, and the bathroom was clean. The pillows and mattress were very good, and we really had restful sleep. Breakfast was simple, but had good coffee and a cappuccino machine!
Laila, 1-night trip

Wall very thin. Can hear people talking in the room next to us and walking down the hall. Did not get much sleep. Rooms very nice. Staff not very friendly. If you book at hotel free parking otherwise you have to pay.
