This hotel is situated right on the beach just down from the boardwalk, so anyone looking to have access to those areas will love this location. The parking is a bit tough, as there are some spots down on the lower level and in the garage, and others up the back that are accessible by a staircase. If you encountered a car leaving as you were entering it would not be an easy situation. Check-in was easy and they were very friendly with suggestions, however they didn't explain where our room was; merely said "first floor" but didn't explain that the first floor is actually outdoors along the lower level, so it was confusing trying to find it. If you have a lot of luggage don't park in the back/upper lot because you have to haul it all down to a door on the street to get to the elevator (or down the parking garage staircase). The room themselves are great, really nicely done up with a nice fridge/coffee maker/safe, and there was a nice little table and chairs in our room. The bathrooms are a great size with a nice walk-in shower (in our room anyways). Definitely could work on some cleanliness in the bathroom areas, such as the faucets and behind the soap/shampoo/conditioner in the shower. The pool is very small and shallow, and apparently does not have a heater so it was quite cool; however it is relatively clean, they have nice lounge chairs and provide towels for the area. Overall a very nice hotel and nice staff that were helpful when asked questions. Would stay here again.

We loved the stay. Just across the street from the beach. Comfy beds, Wish Litte Cafe was was open lil later. But we visited during end of season. The Roof Top on 4th floor veranda is perfect for bringing your take out dinner or drinks and just relaxing with the beautiful view of the ocean and sound of the waves. I can still smell the ocean. The staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for the upgrade. We will return.

Great location, close to pier, beach and boardwalk. Room was small, but clean and met our needs. Parking is tight, so get there early if you want a spot. Room had a view of the construction across the street, but that is out of their control. We were on a road trip so only stayed for one night and It was perfect for us.

The pictures do not do justice to this hotel. The hotel was amazing, 2 minute walk to the pier, a cross from the boardwalk, and a walk to a good restaurant. The room was super clean and updated. we wish we could stay longer.

I TRAVEL QUITE A BIT; I AM NOT NEW TO THIS; The lady "TYRA" if I have the name correct, the asian lady was the worst ever!!! in 20 or so years of traveling I have never experienced such negative, rude, and even discriminatory gestures from anyone, EVER!!! I spoke to "LUCEE" the next morning and complete oposite! I will guarantee YOU I will never, ever come back here again. Parking is Terrible, Construction around the property makes it very difficult, ONLY good thing was the location so close to the water and LUCEE! Interesting I write this because MY SPOUSE is Asian; I do not know if that caused such a nasty and terrible reaction? IDK! or I got the back end of a bad day!!! Never Ever had I Felt this! NEVER!!!

Perfect location to visit The Boardwalk area! Great view and directly across the street from the beach. We walked everywhere and had a great stay! Completely out of their control, but there is a resort under construction next door so that’s a bit of an eye sore.
