Pros:

What I like is that it's close to the beach, they accept dogs, and the place is clean

Cons:

What I didn't like this year was being charged for parking for all three nights; I think each room should have its own parking space. I was charged a fee for my dog—which is fine—but I feel that if the dog doesn't cause any property damage or shed hair, that money could be refundable

Location great, staff and parking policy horrible.
Pros:

The location was great on the boardwalk.

Cons:

I didn’t appreciate the new policy of no parking until 1pm and the threat of getting towed while we were trying to check in. I also didn’t appreciate how miserable the front desk lady was. If you don’t like pets, wouldn’t recommend. There are big dogs everywhere causing the building to smell like dog.

Wonderful beach front
Pros:

Firstly the location is absolutely perfect. Close to the pier, plenty of great food and shop options just outside your door. The staff is so kind and hard working. When we arrived the shower wasn’t draining the best and we mentioned it to front desk, they sent someone up almost immediately and fixed the issue. The rooms are clean and z so don’t have any weird smells. The pool is clean. Would absolutely stay again.

Cons:

The key cards stopped working at least once a day despite keeping them away from credit cards and wetness. So that was a little annoying but not a huge deal. Hallways were a little hot at some parts of the day.

Remember it's a beach hotel....
Pros:

Location was great,we took the room with the portable air conditioner, so they gave us free parking and free early check in which was great. The staff was extremely nice. The shower was very hot and had great pressure. The lobby has coffee and tea available all day. Close to restaurants. The room was very large and spacious. Two televisions with a good channel selection.

Cons:

We did have a leak in ceiling over the sofa bed. Ants were all over the headboard, the one bed, I believe the frame was broken. When you sat on it, the other side would leave the ground. It was missing a couple of baseboards and ceiling tiles were stained.

Far from Paradise
Pros:

This past weekend we stayed at the “Paradise” Plaza Inn. We checked in on Sunday for a 3 night getaway. Our first impression was nice location! Unfortunately, that’s where the nice part ended and the OMG run for the hills began. I was immediately charged for parking, that wasn’t mentioned when booking the room. Then the lot was full and we needed to park across the street and down the block. We unload our stuff get in the elevator and it stops working. We are stuck on the 3rd floor. We couldn’t go any further. We needed to go back to the ground floor and into another elevator. We get of the elevator and the AC in the 8th floor hallway doesn’t work, the high temperature really accentuates the intense stench of weed, it was over baring! The hallway carpets were stained everywhere, it looked like there were blood spilled and the carpet was bleached with Clorox. There are large white stains everywhere. When we get to our room and the key doesn’t open the door, we need to navigate the one working elevator back to the front desk. we are told to “try lifting the handle up” some of the doors work that way. we go back to the room and realize the door handle was installed incorrectly and needs to be used in an upward fashion. Immediately walk into the room and the smell of weed is worse than in the hallway, didn’t think that was possible, we were wrong. The beds were ok, the TV worked fine. The sliding door handle was broken, there were 3 outlets without screws keeping them attached to the wall. They would spark when used and pulling the plug out. The shower pressure was nonexistent due to the hard water blocking the shower head from working. The whirlpool tub was filled with stains from mold and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in yrs. We did our best to manage through the stay but left a day early. This hotel is far from “Paradise” I would avoid at all costs!
