Do not stay here!!!! The room smelled like piss and the bathroom was leaking from the ceiling. When asked if they could change my room they said they had no availability and handed me a mop and some air freshener mask the smell there were flies in the room and people outside til 5 am partying! Horrible place to stay and almost 300 a night for this dump is crazy!!!!! Stay away!

I spent 3.5 hrs trying to get a refund. This hotel should be condemned. I cannot believe Expedia promotes this hotel. Completely unsafe and unsanitary. Went through 5 rooms and still was gross. False advertising with nice pictures. Would've left but had 3 children and no where else to go. Stains on sheets, black mold in shower and bathroom, broken doors to bathroom and main door, reeked of cigarette smoke, manager was high and smelled of marijuana, no hot water in shower. Expedia was completely unhelpful in resolving solution to an acceptable manor.

The locks were old fashioned real key! Only had a bed spread, no top sheet or blanket, we kept our shoes on because the tiled floors were questionable. It did have a nice pool and Jimmy's Breakfast around the corner was great. Boardwalk was nice. It was sad that you had to pay to go on the beach! Plus they CLOSE the beach at like 7:00 pm!!!

Fair room good for sleeping.

The room was a good size. The bathroom did not look very clean. The shower temperatures were hard to adjust. The outlets are all at about 6 ft in the air which makes it a little difficult to plug things into it. The door to the room constantly stuck, and in order to get it to close you had to play with the bolt lock each time you open the door.
