Pros:

Great location, room was clean, beds were super comfy. Staff was nice.

Cons:

If ur room is close to the parking garage you can hear the garage door going on and off constantly. It didn’t bother me much but it could bother others :)

Schönes und modernes Hotel mit guter Ausstattung und solidem Frühstück, jedoch kleinen Abstrichen bei Komfort und Parkpl
Pros:

Das Hotel hat uns optisch sehr gut gefallen, besonders der moderne Eingangs- und Frühstücksbereich. Unser Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet, mit Mikrowelle, Kühlschrank und Kaffeemaschine. Das Badezimmer war angenehm groß und durch die Haltegriffe sowie die Badewanne mit niedrigem Einstieg auch gut nutzbar. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und das Personal super freundlich. Direkt vor dem Hotel konnte man zwar nicht parken, aber es gab eine Tiefgarage mit Aufzug direkt zum Hotel.

Cons:

Die Parksituation war etwas umständlicher, da es keine direkten Parkplätze vor dem Hotel gibt und die Tiefgarage kostenpflichtig ist. Außerdem war das Bett für unseren Geschmack etwas zu hart, weshalb wir nicht ganz so gut geschlafen haben.

Had a great experience and was not disappointed with property location! Would stay again for sure.
Pros:

Great location, just a quick 5 min walk or so to the pier. A block off the main strip which is great because you don’t get all the street noise that you do when you stay so close to the boardwalk. Fast, friendly check in and our room very clean which is my absolute must have! Parking is pricey at $25 additional a night but it is covered and gated so it’s nice to know your car and belongings are pretty safe.

Cons:

I wish properties would have a price with all fees included like parking. I would feel like I was getting a better deal and I wouldn’t have any surprises at check in with all the additional fees for this and that.
