this is one of several hotels ran by the same company, they all have to check in at the same location. I had to wait in an excessively long line x3 to finally get in my room and it wasn't at the hotel I booked. it wasn't waterfront, it wasn't on Broadwalk as advertised and it was in an alley. a converted storage space without signage indicating they're is even a room in the alley. it wasn't the cleanest, there was black hair on the linens and the bathroom was gross. the front desk staff was rude to me and others in front of me. finally the parking is horrible and very limited.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I arrived and was put in a completely different room than I had booked and the staff is very rude. Complimentary breakfast consisted of coffee, cereal, bagels and fruit with no actual breakfast meals offered. The room after examination had lots of cob job work done to it and was not very accommodating to me and the TV has an Amazon firestick with random people signed in. Bathroom also had an odor and was not very clean after initial check in. The hotel does have a store but everything is ridiculously expensive. Do not recommend. Keep looking if you're looking to enjoy your stay at the beach.

Cozy place

Purchasing through clarina, I didn't realize the extra fees that the hotel has. The people at the front desk were not the nicest. They have a $100 on top of $19 a day per car. The neighborhood is not the greatest, but it felt cozy in the room like an apartment without utensils. But it did have a full kitchen, toaster, coffee machine and stove.
