Disliked: Amenities
This place is nearby a lot of businesses and makes for a more business hotel vibe. The rooms are clean enough but something that really bothered me was the smell of bleach right when I entered the room. It smelled like I was in a pool the entire time and gave me a headache. The doors are not soundproofed and when people talk in the hallways you can hear them. I’d often hear housekeeping talking loudly amongst each other in the morning when they clean, which disrupted my sleep. The worst part was the WiFi on the fourth floor was so spotty, it barely worked and connected. I ended up leaving early because I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I would not recommend. Stay elsewhere.

Room appeared to be clean. Not so sure the sheets were changed from previous patron as there was what seemed to be food in the bed in a couple places. And there were only 2 towels for 5 people. We had to keep asking for towels. Breakfast was good.

Great location, Great staff, Clean Property

This hotel is in a great location for the price. We were able to travel to the beaches quickly. There is a Jersey Mikes and Starbucks basically out the front door. The hotel is clean and well staffed. We had a great stay!

The property was great, the only negative was the service desk person that was on duty 6/27/2025 @ approximately 430 pm. Basically I asked for 6 extra pillows due tonight have a toddler and wanted to form a barrier in the bed so he doesn't fall, the service desk gentlemen told me " absolutely not! Maybe 2 or 3 but definitely not 6!" It's absurd that a hotel that size doesn't have 6 extra pillows. Very rude and condescending.
