Inadequate parking spaces at the hotel. Walls are very thin, making it VERY noisy. The boardwalk to the beach was closed as well. Would not stay here again.

Partial beach view was no view, property needed updated, photos were deceiving. Toilet ran all the time, had to change rooms. music next door was extremely loud into the night. Bare minimum continental breakfast. Minimal parking, had to park 1 block away. Price did not reflect the quality. Would not return.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was average but decent. You have to ask for food to be restocked in the morning and thats even if they have anymore. Boiled eggs, fruit, cereal, bagels, and a machine that makes pancakes. The hotel is convenient to the beach, however the boardwalk was down for repairs, as was the pool, which we werent aware of until we arrived. Thats one of the reasons I chose this hotel was because of the pool. The elevator was concerning, we were roomed on the 3rd floor and had to use the staircase the whole time because the elevator takes forever to open. Overall it served its purpose which was convenience to the beach but we will find a different hotel next time.

Convenient We had a partial ocean view however there was a restaurant with outdoor seating right beneath our balcony which was opened from 10 in the morning to 11 at night. The lock on our balcony door was broken. Our refrigerator did not work so they brought a new one to our room.

Pool was under construction and that was not told to us when we booked the room. Parking is limited and they offer offsite parking but the office didn’t provide us a pass when we checked in. She told us where to park but forgot to give us the pass.
