I have stayed at the hotel several times, I have only had great experiences. I also have to say that Elizabet Traykova is the one that usually takes care of the morning breakfast there, she is a Great asset to the hotel. She always remembers me! I would highly recommend the hotel, it is in walking distance to the Pier,ocean,shops,food,and the boardwalk. The area is really safe with the Sheriffs Department right across from the hotel.😎

We just spend the nights in our room. We don’t hang out in it all day, so we don’t need anything fancy. We like that it’s clean, conveniently located, has a great breakfast, and it’s reasonably priced. When our grands go with us, they like the paddle boards and kayaks provided.

Every time I come to the area I stay here. Such a great vibe. I feel very comfortable. I love the fact the rooms have outdoor access. We have yet to bring our dog but I love the fact that they're pet friendly. I always get to meet new pups. Staff is usually very kind and helpful. Location is phenomenal!
