They are super stringent on the check in time (4pm which in my opinion is late and you have to be out by 10 or 11?) so you have to wait in line They have a shared area for dining and a small pool out front We had a view of the ocean from the lower level but no direct access to the pool and we looked like we were in prison

There was a fire alarm pulled, not their fault, they did fine in the moment. Problem is that no one followed through to reset the alarm, leaving the property unprotected had there been a real emergency. Worse yet, nothing was communicated to the morning manager. When I reported the disabled alarm, they had no idea there was an incident the night before that involved police and fire. They must do better.

Upon our arrival, we were asked to wait for room to be cleaned. During our stay, there were workers renovating the room adjacent to ours. I understand the need to work but not at late hours. I complained to front desk and spoke to manager. I was advised that work would be completed shortly. The drilling and hammering continued until near 8:30pm. I asked how I would be compensated for this disruption and was told that there was nothing to be compensated for. I left upset with the comments being passed by a woman manager that she was sorry I felt that way. If I were you, definitely do NOT stay at this establishment as they only want your money and don’t care how you feel when you get there.

Liked oceanfront view and boardwalk accessibility for reasonable price. Front desk staff very helpful. Room was a little small--would have liked more sitting space but bathroom space good. Did not like TV situation--no guide to channels, no high def. Lots of slamming doors during the day as rooms around us were being cleaned. Overall, good stay.
