The room and view was great. The construction going on was a little disturbing but you had no control over that. I really enjoyed Dennis and John's attitude and hospitality. I'll be coming back again. Thank you 😊

I loved having the beach right across the street. The dining near was convenient and pretty good. My boyfriend and I LOVED having the arcade right there in like a 2 minute walk radius. I just didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t watch the sunrise from my room. Other than that, I loved it.

Steps away from boardwalk

The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Everything was just renovated and it's looks great. There is construction across the street from the other hotel being built but it didn't impact us in any way. We spent most of our time at the boardwalk and this was the closest hotel.

The property was great and newly renovated. The location was also great and felt very safe. One thing I did notice was a odd smell coming from the bathroom, which would increase every time I would run the faucet or the toilet (maybe a plumbing issue?). Nothing major though. 10/10 stay.
