The beach view and location were great but the room was a bit rundown. The room was clean but was missing some basics—no washcloths, no coffee creamer or sugar and chargers next to bed were non-functioning.

Room 208 had a good view. But the room wasnt very clean. Needs new paint, caulking around sink was coming out, the sunroom bed had burn holes in blanket. The floor was sandy. You pay for the view.

So-so rooms but great location.

The toilet seat broke (was fixed promptly) the shower door isn’t put on correctly and the handle was loose and the floor was bubbled up. Seems like whoever flipped the room to update it, did a terrible job. Staff was friendly and helpful and the location was A+. Not worth $300+ though with a brand new Marriott around the corner.

Hotel is very dated for the price. You are paying for proximity to Boardwalk, beach, and shops. The hotel could use an entire property makeover. Especially with a brand new competitor next door for similar price. This is our first stay and will not return. We will stay next door at the new hotel.

We had the family room. Two king beds with a door making it two separate rooms. Perfect for us because I had two teens who stayed up late! Our view was the parking lot but no biggie. The bathroom was a bit odd because the floor was shared with the toilet & shower! So after showering, the floor was soaked. We had to put down towels so our feet wouldn’t touch the ground. That was the only thing I didn’t like about the room. Superb location, directly across from the volleyball courts/beach. The two decks were amazing in the morning! They’re open from 9-9. Front desk employees were super nice and helpful! Free coffee and tea was nice as well!
