Not pleasant.
Pros:

This was an unpleasant experience with bed bugs, a terrible excuse for a continental breakfast and non-working wifi and television. Will not return.

Pros:

Quick easy check-in and friendly staff. Great location, close to the boardwalk.

Cons:

Thin walls. I could clearly hear the people next door talking and watching their tv loudly at 1am. Rooms facing the street will hear traffic all day/night.

I love this hotel and I plan to stay here again
Pros:

I loved everything. The staff was nice. The rooms are clean. I slept good. I haven’t slept like that in years. Everything was perfect about the hotel.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like was the weird people staying there but other than that, everything was perfect

It’s good but not enough breakfast, WiFi keep goin off.
Pros:

Clean and near at the restaurant and boardwalk.

Cons:

The breakfast is the same everyday. It’s only banana, cereal and chocolate bar. Orange and coffee. It would be nice if you add different kind of tea bags and bagel with cream cheese or croissant and butter with different jelly spreads.

It was great
Pros:

I really enjoyed how friendly the staff was. I like how my room was right outside where the pool was. I like how the boardwalk was just a couple blocks away.

Cons:

AC not going to get super cold. I talked with the staff member and understood why it doesn't get super cold

Great!
Pros:

As sparing as could be to get by with claiming breakfast. Coffee was weak.

Cons:

My main suggestion is to give more attention to cleaning the floors, especially the ceramic tiled areas.
