We had a fabulous getaway to the beach and the hotel was affordable, clean, and staff was so helpful!
Pros:

We liked everything about this property. The cleanliness of the room, the kind staff, the pool, employees at the restaurant/bar and ease of parking and location.

They take pets
Pros:

I stay here because I have pets. This is one of the few places that allow pets on the boardwalk. So, that's why I stay here and of course I like being on the boardwalk. The staff is helpful and kind.

Shabby, dated, overpriced
Pros:

A very shabby hotel for the price. The location was it's only redeeming value and even that wasn't amazing. Views were not amazing, most rooms look down on a sad courtyard area.

Cons:

Everything was a bit old and dated, there was only one elevator for the entire hotel that operated at a snail's pace, the stairs were kind of dangerous and nosing was falling off many of them and the tiles were super slippery, the restaurant is extremely shabby and overpriced (recommend walking up the street to a nicer restaurant for the same menu at a more reasonable price) and communication with the front desk was not a pleasant experience, especially after I had an issue with my booking.

Overall our stay was great! Wish it could’ve been longer. Definitely would stay here again.
Pros:

The room was a nice size. Very clean. Great view being oceanfront! Beds were comfortable. Great location. Quieter end of the boardwalk which is nice. Water pressure in bathroom was great. Staff was very friendly and polite.

Cons:

The only downside to the room itself was not having some sort of closet but we made it work. Also, having our dog with us, I wish the grass area for the dogs would have been cut. It was hard to see when lazy people didn’t pick up after their dogs.

Excellent stay!
Pros:

Location was excellent. Further up on the boardwalk so much quieter. Atmosphere excellent! Right on the beach. Just steps away. Pet friendly so was able to bring our dog. Our room was a good size. Clean. Oceanfront, so beautiful view. No carpets which I prefer. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure in bathroom was strong which is a good thing. Would definitely stay here again. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Oh and the pool was nice and clean.

Pros:

Clean, close to the beach, restaurant was pretty good and had good pizza, staff was friendly.

Cons:

Elevator was a little sketchy, the pool was a little small and cloudy, no mouthwash or toothpaste amenities but that was okay because we did pack some, and the pool and bar closed at 10 but we also stayed during the week.
