It was honestly a good hotel for a good price. Had everything I needed and was convenient.
Pros:

It was very comfortable and cozy. Not far from the beach. Good price for what I got.

Cons:

It’s something no one can control but I didn’t like that the walls felt thin. As in I can hear the room next to me with ease and I didn’t like that. But like I said, can’t control that.

Great time except for a few mishaps. Would stay again,.
Pros:

Staff was Great, breakfast was good, cleanliness was good but could have been better. Walk to the boardwalk wasn't bad about a half mile. there was a variety of restaurants to choose from close to the Hotel.

Cons:

Was very disappointed with the pool, the water was very cloudy and the pool had so much stuff floating in it. I took the skimmer and spent an hour skimming the pool so that my family and I felt better about swimming in it. The blow dryer in Our room was missing the screen on the back and my daughters hair got sucked into the dryer and was burned and twisted into a huge knot.

Great room, breakfast, pool, and staff…clean too
Pros:

Staff nice and good location

Cons:

While it was July 4th, it being last minute and more than one room available, a “family” discount to fill the room the day before would have been expected…$800 for a family of 5 for one night in one suite just was a lot

Not worth the money
Pros:

The breakfast was decent enough. Eggs were watery like literal water in the bottom of the pan. But the pancakes were good.

Cons:

The beds were crazy uncomfortable and the walls are so thin I could hear EVERYTHING including just regular conversations which is probably why the tv volume only goes above a whisper.
The AC unit was very loud as well.
Bring your own pillows!
