I’ve stayed at this location multiple times. I continue coming back because of the location of the hotel. Right across the street from the boardwalk, pier and beach. The conditions within the room were subpar. The bathroom floors were warping due to water damage and the sliding door to the bathroom offered limited privacy. The beds weren’t the comfiest and I regret not bringing a pillow from home. 4/5 Stars for location and convenience alone.

Overall it’s a nice weekend getaway stay. However the room we are staying (just right above front office) has extremely poor WiFi access. I was expecting the TV is already setup with the SSID which at least I can login with my Netflix account. But no, customer has to enter it and like I said, the WiFi is so poor such that I can’t even connect and give up… channels are limited to like 4/5 local channels. Other than the “entertainment” issues, room is nice and better than expected amenities such as slippers and bathrobes (nice touch on that). Location wise, it s a prime property right next to the beach

Nice stay but expensive for what you get

View and location is great! Shower was cold and never fixed within the couple days we stayed. Mattress is getting old and pillows need to be changed. Or higher quality. Noisy in the morning and nights as the walls are paper thin
