Great place to stay! Very convenient for walking to the boardwalk. Rooms are clean. A couple of the lights/outlets didn’t work in our room but it wasn’t a huge deal, that would be my only “complaint”

Just ok

This hotel needs some updating. The bathroom is dark and dingy. No handsoap to be found. The bodywash was 1oz tiny tube for 4 people. The sheets and blankets had stains on them. I paid 1300$ for 2 nights so I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

The overall property and our room was a bit dated and in need of updating. However the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was also very clean and the bed was comfortable. Given the price we paid, at the height of vacation season, we feel that the Crusader was a very good value and we were very pleased with our stay there.

Such a great oceanfront hotel with a large pool to use if you don’t feel like walking to the beach. Check-in was easy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One parking spot per room. The room was a nice size efficiency with a pull out couch and a bedroom. They provided toiletries and the room was clean. Would definitely stay again.
