Let me start by saying this property is located right on the beach. That is about the only positive I have. Room was a mold breeding ground and the carpet was damp enough to leave your socks uncomfortable. There was mold around the bathroom and clear water damage above the shower. There is ZERO insulation preventing you from hearing the people below, above and either side. Not to mention the continuous noise from outside so if you thought about leaving your patio door open to hear the waves, good luck. Pool area was flooded with kids and is TINY for the amount of rooms and people the hotel accommodates. Better get your towel on your chair quick or you’re not getting a spot. I was completely taken back by the horrific smell that whatever deodorizer is used to mask it is only making it worse. The WiFi is trash and unless I was outside, Verizon didn’t work great either. Came to relax with my parents and felt so gross in the hotel I spent majority of my time away, but my father is unable to walk well due to a rare disease he was just diagnosed with and basically was stuck at the pool area most of the trip. Expedia said $35 credit towards parking but we didn’t have a car and we’re not given a credit to use elsewhere (since they charge extra for real internet and all the “amenities” they advertise) Quite frankly I was very disappointed that I paid extra for this place over the one next door due to the ratings, could have saved myself a TON of money across the parking lot.

The proximity to the ocean and boardwalk is the reason we stay here. The price for the quality is getting worse each year. The beds are worn and need replaced. The bathtub would not drain. Overall the cleanliness is worse from previous stays.
