Good enough for breakfast included
Pros:

The location to the beach was great. The room was extremely clean (so much so we walked into it with the floor still wet from mopping) and the linens were nice. Breakfast was busy but fully maintained at service. Parking lot was well lit, felt safe to leave your car.

Cons:

Paying extra for a "view" was really not worth it. Mostly rooftops of other hotels and things. The room was not ready upon arrival (after check in time began) which messed up our plans for the day. The staff at the desk could have been a little nicer when that happened, but I don't hold it against them, stuff happens. The mattress had a pretty grody stain down the side, like old barf, no smell though, just gross to see it.

Unprofessional
Pros:

It was close to many nearby restaurants and the beach. The strip was very active. The views were nice.

Cons:

Check in was stated to be at 3pm but we were not allowed in until 3:45. Allegedly this was done because the cleaning staff had not cleaned the rooms yet which makes me wonder what were they doing for 4 hours if check out of rooms were at 11am. When I called earlier in the day to inquire about the room, no one had told me that check in would be delayed. My party and I traveled from Philly by car for about 3 hours and looked forward to immediately going to the beach only to be delayed because of negligence and miscommunication. Another person who would be staying on the same floor as us (5th) was also delayed and she had been waiting far much longer than my party, hours in fact. Tamara was the employee I had spoken to when first arriving and when shifts were about to change and I spoke to the next person, Jeremy, he was much helpful and took our concerns with care while Tamara was busy trying to leave and did not relay any of the info to the next staff member, Jeremy. Jeremy said he would give our concerns to the house manager to be handled the next day in regards of a reimbursement. When entering the room, the floor was still wet and created a danger hazard to walk on at first. My partner almost slipped and fell. The next day upon leaving, I spoke with the house manager who claimed the late check in was because the staff was “working very hard” to clean all the rooms and that “check in at 3pm is never guaranteed”. I’ve stayed in a couple of hotels as of late including in Canada and I’ve never had a late check in. To reimburse me, she simply took off the $10 parking fee (a fee which was never stated on booking.com or verbally when we checked in) I find it convenient that she quickly “took that off” and even then so, that didn’t seem to cover the lack of professionalism we and anyone else on floor 5 received that day. Overall, the check in staff besides Jeremy was unprofessional. We would not stay here again.

Great staff and comfortable accommodations but make other plans for breakfast!
Pros:

The staff has been phenomenal every time we've stayed here and this time was no different. Everyone we engaged with was attentive and responsive. Kira (front desk) was especially helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant.

Cons:

The three reasons we always choose this hotel is the location, price and breakfast. The location is still amazing, just across the street from the beach. We always stay in the same room when we arrived and were told that the rate for this particular room will be increasing because it has a view (it's always had the same view so paying more for zero changes or upgrades seems odd). Lastly, breakfast was a big miss this time around. One of the two pancake makers was out of order the entire time we were there and the last day, the other make stopped working as well. There was very little variety in what was offered for breakfast and the toaster...did not toast. I put a slice of bread through 3 times and it barely got warm. Lastly, there was a front desk work who seemed extremely sick on our last day. I hope she's okay. She was coughing and hacking horribly for over an hour just a few feet from the breakfast setup.

If I had to choose I wouldn't mind staying again.
Pros:

Place was clean. Location wasn't to bad. Either way your driving or walking where you need to go. Breakfast there was good.

Cons:

I didn't like how the soap in the shower was empty, hand soap was empty at the sink. I mean we had to go ask to replace these but if your cleaning the room prior to someone checking in replace the empty items.

Nice place to stay at the last minute
Pros:

Location -Front Desk staff was delightfully, helpful and extremely friendly -my son loved your bath products, especially the lemon scented bath soap/body wash

Cons:

The common area was disgustingly dirty I have never seen seeds chairs tables that had so much dirt and grime. I didn’t even want to sit touch or go near. And honestly, very expensive what you aren’t given scratchy towels that aren’t very big cheap toilet paper… No bacon at breakfast not everyone eats sausage that is watery. The eggs looked green.
