Located directly on the boardwalk.
No lifeguards at pool.

The hotel was in a great location and had clean rooms. View was wonderful and close proximity to the beach was a great plus.

That it was in a Great location and the staff was helpful and friendly.
Bathrooms were too small.

Hotel was very nice. Room was clean and newly renovated. Restaurant was very nice.
Pools were not clean. We could not get a receipt when we checked out.

The room and hotel were very nice. The parking garage was convenient. The hotel restaurant was very nice yet pricey.

I liked the peacefulness of the hotel. I also like the view of the ocean from the restaurant.
I did not like the tiny bathroom. I have young children and it was very hard to fit more than one person in the room.

Overall it was what I expected for a family vacation.

I absolute enjoyed everything.
The renovations are not fully complete; for example, the room sprinkler systems holes in the wall from pictures being moved.

Beside the room door seams on several doors seem too have a huge gap in the frames. Also the renovations to the bathrooms literally have swallowed the space of the bathroom up. Bathrooms too small. Mattresses are way too soft; I asked for a replacement, I was told that all the beds are like that. Not good. A board was cut for my side of the bed. Other than noted discrepancies I found that my wife and I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the Ocean view and the staff was excellent. read more

Good location right on the beach and boardwalk. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet.
There was a bad smell in an elevator. The elevators are open to anyone passing by the hotel.

Quite comfortable and clean hotel in the off-season, with a beautiful beach. Everything we hoped for during our stay, and at a very reasonable price.

Location was great on the boardwalk.
Two different occasions was blocked by delivery truck while trying to park in the garage. Very annoying.

Overall enjoyed the stay - they need to do something about delivery trucks blocking their garage. Loved the location on the boardwalk. Would stay again.

Location.
Not in go repair.

It was under construction, not in great repair, a little old, but it was inexpensive, and it is in a great location. They remodeling it look like, so improvements are on the way. I guess for a beach hotel it is what's to be expected.

The hotel has a nice indoor heated pool and spa.
They should clean the pool a little nicer.

Over all we had a great time, my kids loved being in an adjoining room and that they could go swimming there all day long.
