The room needed maintenance, gross looking ceiling tiles/missing. The fact that there was only coconut hand soap and shower soaps. Since I’m allergic I couldn’t use them.

The room we stayed in was outdated. The carpet in the room is probably 20 years old. Same is the furniture. There is a musty smell in the halls and a terrible smell of some cheap air freshener in the common areas. The best area of the hotel is the pool, it looks nice. Upon arrival I was surprised by the absence of the comforter on the bed. Called the front desk to ask where was the comforter? Was advised that the hotel doesn’t provide any and there is a blanket in the closet. The blanket looked extremely unappetizing, but the front desk insisted that it was clean. I asked if I can have a second one, was told that they don’t have any at the front desk and they will contact the laundry room. We never got the second blanket and ended up going to the nearest department store to buy one because I couldn’t imagine covering myself with the one provided by the hotel. On the positive side this is a beachfront hotel and the parking is included in the price of the stay. The beach is beautiful, unfortunately for the most of our stay it was flooded and the weather didn’t cooperate much. I still don’t understand why Jersey Shore is so overpriced? Any 2 star hotel in South Carolina would look like a palace compared to this place. With all due respect I would never recommend this place to anyone I know.

Amazing staff, very old furnishing

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. However, we had issues with the condition of the furniture and infrastructure. The carpets appeared to be from the 1960s, and found Febreeze plugs in the A/C vents which caused headaches.

This is a great spot! Far enough from the boardwalk to be quiet and relaxing. Easy transportation to and from the hot spots with the local bus. The pool was great for my son and I, offering free lunch on Sundays for guests. The restaurant is super cute too for a quick bite. We'll be back!
