Great location

Pros:

The location was amazing —so close to the beach and the pool area was awesome to lounge it. It felt family-friendly and we liked having access to a coffee shop and pool bar on site.

Cons:

Very expensive for very basic room, the windows were unwashed and cloudy looking with ripped screens so there was no view. The overcharged my card for incidentals by a ton of money which makes
me loose some trust in practices. I wish breakfast started earlier than 8 am.

Great time with family and friends!
Pros:

The room was comfortable for our family of 5. We were 1 block from the beach and close to restaurants.
Also, we had an issue with our booking and the front desk person was very helpful. He was proactive and an immense help! We appreciated him so much.

Cons:

We weren't a huge fan of the cafe on the ground floor. It was like a Starbucks but with smaller range of items but as expensive as a sit down restaurant.

Pros:

Very close to everything in town, 2 minutes to the beach/boardwalk and just a 20 minute walk into town for some fabulous restaurants and nightlife. The pool on site is an additional perk, lounge by the pool with some great bites and refreshing drinks. We stayed here the night of our wedding and love to come back and revisit those memories.

Cons:

Great location, comfortable rooms
Pros:

The proximity to the boardwalk is fantastic! The hotel itself is very nice if not a bit dated in the rooms. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.

Cons:

The door to the bathroom in our room was iffy - we almost had to call the front desk as it took a few times to open the door and we thought we’d need maintenance to get out. After the 2nd time that happened, we stopped closing the door all the way

Ok, aber andere sagen toller aus
Pros:

Ok, aber der Meerblick wird durch marodes Gebäude am Strand vernichtet.
Lage ist Mega, Zimmer groß und sauber.

Cons:

Etwas angerosteter Charme, Pool klein und unattraktiv, Meerblick verhindert, schweineteuer für wenig Leistung.

Based on room cost this fell very short of what I expected a $300+ room to be.
Pros:

Close to beach and boardwalk

Cons:

Little more than a motel- no coffee maker in room, no room service, lack of amenities
