The room was definitely clean. It was a nice little room, nothing fancy. The view and balcony was great. Staff was great at check in. It was definitely a bummer that I was charged extra money on top of my initial quote. Even in the break down of the this charge was not presented. It really cut into my spending money. Also the water pressure for the shower was extremely weak. I made it work but still. In the end the access to the beach and boardwalk saved this trip. I would recommend this place again, but with out some heads up. Thank you!

The staff was helpful. The room wasn’t the worse, the shower is super small!! They fail to mention that you have to pay for parking! And as you can imagine it varies depending on the day. There is public parking but good luck getting anywhere near that! I could have stayed at a resort and had parking for free and the resort fees would have been less than this parking!

We were able to see the ocean but the rooftop of the restaurant was part of our view. However it was very nice having a great restaurant so close and it was not noisy at all. The amenities were very basic. The bed was comfortable and the room and bedding were clean. It would have been nice to have chairs or a place to sit in the room. It was good to have a deck looking out to the ocean which a lot of the newer facilities in the area were lacking. We love to hear the sound of the ocean and it was very close to the beach, which was a priority to us.

When I booked these rooms I booked so I could see the beach from my room. That is what the room stated. I wanted to see the beach. When I mentioned that to the hotel staff they told me it'd be an extra charge. I said, I booked the rooms with a beach view. So for an additional fee I could have that room. I was so upset. That's the reason I choose this hotel! Room was hot all night with the little window air unit. stains on pillow. bed was comfortable - I will give them that.
