Incredible location, so close to the stone pony and the beach. The beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly. The room was clean. There was a crack in the ceiling and sink made weird noises after being on for a minute and the toilet kept running, but great location. Would stay again

This place is so fun and every staff person we met was so happy and helpful. I would recommend staying here if you are open to having fun and being around happy people. The only downfall to the room was no mini fridge.

The Staff: So welcoming and accommodating. The housekeeping is on target and very helpful. The pool: Lively, pristine and fun!

The location was excellent and they have a monitored parking lot for guests. A little confusing to find the main entrance of the hotel. I finally found it after walking around the whole perimeter. Nice staff clean room. Pool looked nice but too cold to swim in May.

Proximity to the beach and boardwalk were great. I knew there was a nightclub downstairs, but I didn't expect it to carry up to our room (3rd floor) SO much. Even with earplugs, I couldn't really fall asleep until the music stopped around 2 AM. They also have nowhere to hold bags if you arrive early, or need a place to put them after checking out. No beach chairs, no beach badges, only towels. If you are going to party until 2 AM, then this is the place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall, I had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made it easy to relax after long days out. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the stay, and check-in/check-out was smooth. Parking was convenient, which made traveling in and out much less stressful. I also enjoyed the bar/club/pool areas — it had a nice atmosphere and was a great place to dance! The property felt well cared for and had a relaxed, inviting vibe. However the TV's were not smart capable so unable to stream movies or music when we experienced rainy days. Otherwise, I had a great experience and would stay again.
