Rooms were clean and spacious. The balcony of the partial view was way more than advertised. A little confusing to find the front desk for chexk in, but not a big deal. Parking is plentiful given the beachfront location. Overall great stay.

Perfect location! I took my Mom, and kids with their boyfriend /girlfriend. We all had our own rooms and were able to come and go to the beach pool ride bikes could not have been better! Staff excellent! Will stay again! We had a perfect view on the fifth floor of the boardwalk building and my 95-year-old mother was able to watch her grandkids come and go on the boardwalk ride bikes, go to the beach like when they were little, she couldn’t have been happier! And a view of the bay as well!

Very nice place and will return, however, the main building is better than the 2nd as noted in previous stays. Available space in room seems smaller from one building to the next. Beach view was obstructed but still visible. Restaurant with pool on property will always be convenient.

Room was spacious but could use new mattresses. Both pools were very small and a little cloudy and could add a few more lounge chairs. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly very good and the gentleman taking orders and serving us was very attentive, a definite asset for the restaurant.

Check in was easy, staff at desk was friendly. Our room ended up with a great view and in the perfect location with easy access to the beach and pool! The restaurant/bar on site had great food and drinks. This property is on the boardwalk but far enough down that you dont have alot of outside noise to deal with all night. Definitely a perfect spot to be if you love being close to the beach and near the boardwalk!
