We liked our first floor room, it would be nice if there was a chair or couch in the room. For the most part, we had a
Pros:

We like how close it was to the beach. The pool was large enough to accommodate all of the persons using it.
We also loved the rooftop hammock and seating. Best of view round for the sunrise and sunset.

Cons:

The bathroom in the honeymoon suite should have a countertop. There was nowhere to put anything. We also did not like that you had to pay for ice. That’s very weird. Never heard that happen before. I also did not like the fact that the toilet paper dispenser was located close to the ground behind the toilet…. Very odd placement.

Pros:

Location is great!
Facilities worth the price.

Cons:

The lights on the outdoor areas flood the room at night. I understand the need to keep balconies lit.
Black out blinds would be nice. Night time photo attached.

Good for a kiddo /pool/ beach stay
Pros:

Pool is nice, the 5th floor cabana with hammocks is a nice touch. Hotel is close to the beach and a little walk to the end/start of the boardwalk. Nice pillows and beds. Love having the kitchenette with microwave and fridge. The lobby looks freshly redone (pretty, bright and clean) however the room, on the 4th floor we stayed, in did not reflect that type of recent update.

Cons:

Everything is tight. Parking spaces as well as the walking area to get to your room with the luggage trolley doesn't fit with the white plastic chairs in the way. The hair dryer in our room is cracked (at the part you plug in the wall.) this is probably dangerous. The AC unit is so incredibly loud. There are no black out curtains and the lights are on all night. Our room had a french-fry on the floor long the wall and a candy wrapper under the bed.

Property was great, property management not so much!
Pros:

Modern, clean, amenities, great pool and hot tub!

Cons:

Lack of flexibility. No late check out, even
though initially requested the previous day and was told to check back early on checkout morning, which I did.

Not even allowed to use pool for an hour or so area after checkout at 11 am, even though they have shower and changing facilities separate from guest rooms. Also, had to immediately remove car from the property. These two denials
have no basis in logic as new guests cannot check in until 4pm.

Unfortunately, these things soured an otherwise perfect stay.

Pros:

Great view from our ocean front room and rooms were clean. The roof top area was great as well watching the sunset, the staff was great too. Had a issue with the hair dryer and staff gave us a new one. And our key card wouldn't work one night and the staff had maintenance up there in less than 5 mins too make sure it was good after some fresh batterys.

Cons:

Shared baclony on the rooms facing ocean still not bad, the in wall ac unit is noisy even on low but works great. Lights outside room are bright but room had a sliding curtain that we used too block off the kitchenette, limited kitchen ware as expected we brought some of our own stuff.

Pros:

Josh at the front desk was amazing. The hotel overall was very nice.

Cons:

The balconies where we were at wede riddled with chronic smokers. Designated smoking areas could help reduce the smoke in others rooms -- maybe we were on the smokers side 😆. Also, the roof needs some repair on things like bent up boards.
