Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room was large and the bed was comfortable enough so I was able to get an okay nights sleep. The older air conditioning unit worked okay but it was oddly positioned under a table and difficult to access. The rooms are non smoking but people can smoke on the balcony so I had to leave the door closed, not ideal when I paid extra for a balcony room. The shower did not have a light in it and it was dark once I pulled the curtain closed. There was a dispenser for body soap and shampoo on the wall in the shower. Pictured in their ad were typical amenities like bars of soap and bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotions. None of those items were there. The area that the hotel is located in is sketchy. Fortunately my son was available to walk me back to my room. We had to walk past some shady looking characters that were sitting on the stairs. They all said hi to me in a creepy way. As a senior female solo traveler I did not feel 100% safe there. I had the security bar closed on the door and the maid tried to get in before I was ready to leave. I had just told her that I would be a few minutes longer and there was no Do Not Disturb sign for the door. Quick tip if you stay there, try not to park near the dumpsters because your car might get seagull bombed, lol. Ask me how I know! It’s average and I don’t think I’d stay there again.
Balcony view.
Oddly positioned and difficult to use.
Taken in the morning, lots of gaps in the door for light to leak through.

Check in was great. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Our room was not very clean. Our daughter was crawling in the floor for only 5 mins and her hands and knees were black! The restroom smelt like urine. So we kept our daughter off the floor for the rest of our stay. Very nice location. Not too far from boardwalk and traffic around us wasn’t as busy. Overall great location.

Do your homework before paying

We expected a clean cozy place for the cash we put up. Wasn’t super pricy. But the bed was like we were laying on cardboard over huge aluminum cans. Place was not cleaned well just picked up. You can tell no one cleaned shower or floors with mop. New paint doesn’t fix everything. Dissatisfied and really wanted our money back. I left it alone.
