Room was clean, linens soft, bed comfortable. Location ideal for visiting our college kid. Can’t comment on noise level (we sleep with earplugs). No daily breakfast, but the coffee machine produced a nice cup of morning coffee. Parking adequate. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms were spacious and we had a little private patio that was so nice! It was close to the beach and boardwalk and the pool was fun for our grandkids. It’s a very busy hotel so the parking got tricky as it filled up. We would definitely stay there again.

The property is in a good location for walking to the boardwalk. It was a quick and easy walk- even with our 6 year old. The property is older but seems like it was somewhat renovated. The patio furniture was new (our chairs still had the plastic on the cushions). We had the upper corner room and we had a view of the boardwalk from our balcony. The pool was a nice bonus for a quick swim with the kids. It was a busy spot for sure with other families enjoying time there too. The downfall would be that the bathroom floor didn’t seem like it was swept well as there were still a bit of crumbs/debris. Overall it was a nice stay. I do wish they had some sort of breakfast, but that wasn’t a deal breaker.
