Traveled with Family. The guy at check in was very friendly and checked me in with no problems. The hotel was decent, but there was 2 parts to the hotel across the stree from each other. It had a pool on the side we were on but a hot tub on the other side which you had to cross a very busy street. It was a little noisy but we were still able to sleep. I liked the set up of the room. There was 2 rooms with the bathroom in the middle. Over all it was a nice place for a good price.

Pros: Room was large and open... Bed was pretty comfy... Desk staff was friendly... Room was clean as I would have expected... Waking distance to the Boardwalk, etc. Cons: if you like to sleep on rocks for pillows, you're good here, otherwise bring your own... The pillows (all 4 of them) totally sucked and made for a really crappy night's sleep.... We were in their extension across the street, so if we wanted to use the pool, we had to cross over through traffic to the main facility (didn't happen... Seen people coming back that were freezing from the walk across and waiting on traffic)... Had the option of parking on the side of the main facility and crossing the street to the extension, if the parking lot was full (no idea what the plan would be if both were full), as there was limited parking... There was no shelf in the bath to place items on for getting ready, etc, and there was no drain stopper on the sink, so in the end, I lost a small bottle of prescription eye drops down the drain, that my insurance will not replace at this time, unless I pay for it or of pocket. Would I stay here again? Maybe... But they need to list the issues with their set up, and fix the issues.. If I can't sleep or swim, that's a hard no for me. If I have to worry about losing items down the sink drain, we have a bigger problem.

Worst decision ever
We had an issue the office clerk dint put our payment details And we were eating and at the beach with my family the hotel called saying that they cleaned the room and toke our things out along with our cat stuff was supposed to be pet friendly I had to come back all the way wet and left all my food pay double for parking plus the hotel charge me again multiple times for my cat. Because they weren’t supposed to stay. So why’s says pet friendly if they have those kind of concerns about pets. Am an animal veterinarian and the reason why I brought my cat is because she is family and I love to bring her with me. It just doesn’t make sense. My cat is a cat is not a dog don’t take walks like dogs. I spend $650. Dollars on this hotel for nothing waste of money honestly horrible next month I will make a different reservation different hotel. Isn’t even worth it.

The room was clean & had lots of space. They have plenty of parking using some space from a restaurant across the street. The beds were comfortable.
