Pros:

The bed was like sleeping in concrete and I don’t think work has been out into this hotel since 1960. It’s old, outdated and gross. The newest thing I saw was the elevator floor! I didn’t even want to give it a half a star

Pros:

Wake up to a beautiful sunrise every morning right on the beach. Enjoy a large pool with a poolside bar for your favorite drinks, plus plenty of parking for guests. The helpful front desk staff make check-in a breeze. Out front, the seawall walkway stretches for miles—head northwest to the business district or stroll down to the Boardwalk for shops and entertainment.

Pros:

AC don’t work
Room is very bad sofa is bad everything is bad I really disappointed with this place first time and las time… It was a bad experience! I couldn't sleep at all. People smoked in the rooms, and the cigarette smell was unbearable. It even made me sick to walk around without shoes! The building needs urgent renovation! The wonderful view from the place has great potential! I just learned that the pool also needs to be renovated...

Pros:

It is location and ocean views are unbeatable, but it is very old inside and there was a beer bottle on the balcony and personal items under the bed, so I guess it was not cleaned well. We hesitated to sleep on their sheets and I brought ours from home. For that price, I would expect cleaner room, with a clean carpet etc. Plugs were limited, positioned behind beds or so big that it was loose when you plug in something. Towels were very narrow and only for body or hand, but not for hair drying. Ac was not working. No iron, no hair dryer in the room. The drawers and cabinet had moldy smell, so we could not use them. There was no table or chairs inside. No table on balcony either. I loved the balcony, the view and how close it was to the beach and how easy it was parking, we also loved the food from diner. It was plenty, tasty and cheap. But I wish diner would be open longer or do room service, I wish the renovate the room. It has a lot of potential but current price too much for its current quality. Somebody cleaned the pool but I guess it was not filtering water for true cleaning, however we liked that it was heated. But there were no towels poolside, yet reception was kind to provide us some. Overall, because of its location and views, it worth to stay, but they can do much better inside for that price.

Not Great
Pros:

Views were awesome and that is about it. We got there checked in went to our room no air conditioning, they gave us another room where there was some air but not cold blowing through the vent…..had to go out and purchase fans…..no competition offered at all. We weren’t the only one complaining. When I checked out they stated it will be fixed next year….rooms are ok but definitely run down. They should take down the marble in the reception and invest back into the hotel.

Fix the air conditioning
Pros:

I love the place the location the people the view. The rooms are clean dated clean. The air conditioning didn't work in June and it still wasn't working this trip with days in the 90s. We had to have the balcony and our room door kept open to get a breeze. They did afford us a fan, but that did not keep the room cool enough. It was very uncomfortable.

Pros:

I will begin by saying some positives. The location was convenient for the ocean, the beach is across the street. A quick walk. The pool was a decent size and was deep (9 ft). Many reviews complain about the air condition. Seeing this information I requested ahead a unit with working AC and was accommodated. The restaurant had decent food and prices comparable to area. The place was quiet, with easy parking available.

Now some areas of improvement. The place overall is very outdated and is in need of a renovation. I would say the unit we stayed in was from the sixties. There were many cosmetic improvements that were needed throughout our unit. Even our toilet seat was clearly worn out, with faded spots on it. The linens on the bed were clearly older and worn out. There were small ants in the kitchen area, so no food can be placed out. I was not happy that there was a hidden fee to use a credit card when making the payment for the room. The pool was surrounded by a stone floor that was uncomfortable for bare feet. There was a 15 dollar charge for a second vehicle, even though we already paid extra for a 3rd adult guest. We had to drive to the boardwalk and pay for parking. This location is not walkable to the boardwalk. It was about a ten minute drive to get to the rides on the boardwalk.
