Reception and valet service was excellent. Very friendly and efficient. I believe this hotel was restored or previously a different hotel, overall very clean coastal atmosphere, showers could use a thorough bleaching and grout sealing refresh. Water pressure was fair, could be better. Great location. Would visit again.

By far the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Stayed here last minute for my birthday & from the moment I called for early check in (345pm) until the moment I checked out… amazing customer service. I believe his name was Ty that checked me in, started off by wishing me a happy birthday and letting me know they gave me the best room possible, he said sadly the suites were full but they still put me top floor with the water and park view. They gave me so many complimentary drinks and when I went into the room, they had a beautiful smores dessert and a bottle of alcohol for me, with a card wishing me a happy birthday. The blackout curtains were amazing. AC wasn’t too loud and I honestly slept amazing. The pillows and mattress were the comfiest I’ve laid on. I’ll forever brag about this hotel and staff and will absolutely be staying here again and again. It’s also right by the boardwalk, maybe a 30 second walk. A huge parking garage across the street as well if you aren’t able to pay for their valet parking! Tons of great food and bars in walking distance too. 1000/10.

First the front desk staff tried to pull a stunt and give us a room with only a chair, not the sofa pictured in the room that I picked. I returned to the front desk and had to have this corrected - shame on you! The luggage rack was broken - we asked for a replacement, but it took so long we cancelled the request. We asked for champagne glasses, but they cannot accommodate this and were told there are two water glasses in the room we can use - there was only one glass - OK forget it. Only one hand towel was inconvenient but fine. I have given rave restaurant reviews on Yelp in the past but not this time - the food was just OK, not amazing like previous visits. The front desk wasn't very friendly and trying to push some terrible room on us at the onset really set the mood. We will check out shore in February. Sorry Pierside - whomp whomp.
