The hotel is more like a motel, but the rooms were clean, spacious, and the staff were great. It's located in a great location, a very short walk to the boardwalk, the amusement park, and a hosts of shops and restaurants.

Perfect location & within walking distance to beach. Room was clean & spacious. Pool & spa was as near our room & was perfect to end the day. Check in was very quick & parking lot and was large enough that I was never worried if there would be enough spots left-unlike our stays @ other hotels in area.

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was perfect! Easy and convenient access and walking to downtown, the beach, wharf and Boardwalk! The pillows were very flat and the mattresses were hard! The amenities in the hotel could be upgraded, along with the furniture. Some of the chairs and desks are old and run down. Overall it was fine for one night, but felt like it could’ve be a little more spruced up for the location and price we paid. Staff was helpful and friendly at check-in and for other questions. There was also construction happening a few rooms over, on an early Monday Memorial Day morning @ 8:00am. That shouldn’t have happened on a holiday weekend with guests still asleep.
