Location, Location, Location! It is just one block from the Boardwalk Arch, with great casual restaurants nearby (Soprano's Pizza!), including an amazing craft cocktail spot (The Treehouse Bar). The staff is helpful, friendly, and responsive. The rooms are CLEAN and very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again.

Overall, our stay was good. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the pool was a nice amenity. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The location was definitely a highlight—just a short walk to the beach and boardwalk, with plenty of great restaurant options nearby. While nothing really stood out as exceptional, it was a convenient and comfortable place to stay.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. the beds were comfortable. Parking is very tight, we parked and did not move our car until we left to come home. It is very close to the boardwalk, We were on the 5th floor and we had a small balcony to sit out on, but it gave us a great view of the ocean, and we got to see the moon come up every night. We would definitely go back there again.

I just went down for my child’s football tournament and this was a last minute booking… Please let me tell you how pleased I was with our accommodations! The room was very very very clean! The staff was nice especially Mike. And for the most part the pricing was affordable for the location. I will be returning in the future.

The hotel provides excellent service, and I am thoroughly satisfied with my stay. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience was wonderful. The only issue I encountered was with the laundry facilities. The coin-operated washers and dryers were not functioning properly, which was inconvenient. I would recommend that the hotel consider replacing the coin-operated laundry machines with a card payment system. It would be more convenient for guests and could help avoid issues with coins and machine operation. Other than that, everything about the hotel was excellent.
