Absolutely Perfect !
Pros:

I LOVE this property ! I stay here every year with my son. Everything is perfect. From the staff, how clean the property is, the convenience of having the pools, beach, restaurants and walking distance to the boardwalk. I will ONLY stay here when I visit Point Pleasant.

We were all pleased with our stay. All of the staff we encountered were professional and courteous.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable, good proximity to the beach, loved the pool and the easy access to the beach

Cons:

The only mirror in the room was in the bathroom. It was difficult for four women to get ready, take showers, and put makeup on when the only mirror was in the bathroom. Also, there wasn’t a hook or towel rack to hold our towel while we showered.

Horrible and uncomfortable.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The hotel was old, no hot water, toilet hardly flushed. Bathroom and sink area was gross. Refrigerator hardly worked. Just horrible. So expensive for a run down mess. I want some money back!

Not worth the money
Pros:

Great location BUT our room was very damp, although it was hot, in the high 90’s the air conditioning could not remove the humidity from the room. All are clothes were damp, towels didn’t dry overnight. Spoke to the front desk and they sent maintenance over. He said to leave the bathroom fan on and when asked what that would do he said that’s what they told him to tell us. Our 3 night stay was over 1600.00. Not worth the money. The room was clean but needs a remodel.
