Pictures are very misleading and not worth what I paid for. Upon arrival there was someone in my room. Beds are very small. Bed sheets and towels were sandy sink was clogged toilet was leaking. 2 men from the staff followed my daughter and niece around the hotel making them feel very uncomfortable. Sofa bed was rusty and disgusting. Pool was very small. We tried getting refunded so we could find somewhere else to stay but they didn’t give us anything back since I booked through expedia. Not worth it very disappointed.
The people at the front desk super nice. People all over the placeat all hours of the night. I went down to our vehicle and there was a drug deal going on in the parking lot right next to our vehicle. Felt very uneasy not safe at all.
The staff were vry friendly and helpful. Location was convenient and close to the beach and boardwalk. The property itself says it is an oceanfront, except we only had a view of a wall.
The hotel is non-smoking and they made sure to tell us to not smoke on the premises or in the rooms (we are non smokers) however the front desk area reeked of cigarette smoke and I had to get my children out of there quickly.
The 1st room had ants on the headboards and on the bed/pillows. We went to the front desk and notified the front desk and she handed my husband a bottle of raid, then took it back and my husband said we needdd a new room. We went to check another 2 rooms that were not in conditions to sleep in. 1 smelled horrible and the other had a huge puddle next to the AC unit.
By the 4th room, we were able to check-in to. Mind you, it was 11 p.m. and with 3 young children, this was extremely inconvenient. The room we stayed in was ok for the rest of our 3 night, with the exception of rock hard beds, mold in the shower glass and the AC would take a while to kick in sometimes.
I would not recommend this hotel for families unless you really had no other choice.
Staff very pleasant and accommodating. The room was small but clean and updated. This is a very basic motel with a very tiny pool (4 lounge chairs). It is not beach side but is just a short walk. The price was definitely expensive but I do understand that it was a weekend in July so all hotels close to the beach are extremely overpriced. I paid over 700 for 2 nights and felt a little short changed. The included breakfast was a non event, a tiny room filled with families in line for a bagel. Went to a nearby Dunkin. Staff were all very pleasant though, thus the 3.5 out of 5 rating.
Check in was nice around 5 pm ish ,I was extremely tired so did not catch her name. The italian woman we can call her was very friendly, enjoyed the professionalism and the quick convo with her.
