Pros:

the pillows and bed were wonderful, the staff was very friendly

Cons:

The parking arrangement, size of the lot, had to go across the street to park. Bathroom was extremely small, closet space exceptionally not useable, the price of breakfast was unreasonable, no continental breakfast offered.

I enjoyed eating outside of the bar restaurant.
Pros:

I didn't have any breakfast.

Cons:

I think that I would prefer a room on the second or third floor. I didn't like the height of the balcony.

Fantastic! We highly recommend this hotel.
Pros:

Perfect location! Every room was ocean view with a balcony and it was right in the center of the boardwalk with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. The restaurant at the hotel was great and the breakfast offered many options. We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. The staff were so accommodating and we truly felt safe and at home.

Cons:

The only issue was finding parking, but they did offer a free valet service that was extremely convenient and the folks working the valet were top notch. The parking lot on the property was pretty tight for our third row SUV but we made it work and their secondary lot was easily accessible.

Overall it’s a good hotel.
Pros:

I liked how conveniently close it was to the beach and other stores.

Cons:

The food could be better and one of the elevators was broken. Also check in time of 4:00pm is way too late but once we were checked into our room it was very comfortable.
