Gone way downhill…needs many updates & improvemen!

Still waiting for someone to bring up a crib for my infant for the week. Cleaning is no more than having the trash taken out. Coffee & toilet paper was never restocked. We asked for towels and was told it would be about an hour & almost 3 hours later we shared one of our wet beach towels (was going on almost noon to start our day). Beds are like sleeping on the floor and sheets were stained and never changed. There was long black hair everywhere. We came back on our last night and our hotel door was wide open, despite checking it that was secured before we left hours before. Since the garbage was gone, I can assume it was the cleaning crew. Great location on the boardwalk, but the quality has gone way downhill. We have stayed before on previous trips and had no issues. Will not be returning.

Not good if you don’t like smoking

Ok place but everyone smoking on balconies that are right next to each other! Big signs say no smoking. With a bad respiratory issue, it was not fun and couldn’t enjoy my ocean front view I paid for. Reported it multiple times and was ignored. Stay somewhere that’s really smoke free if that’s what you want.
