Bed was definitely firm but not too bad, pillows were like cotton balls, internet wasn’t great, but that’s all the negatives everything else was great. Staff was amazing - the lady at the front desk was great!

This property had everything I needed for a one night stay…parking, comfortable sleeping accommodations, on-site parking and convenience to getting to the boardwalk. While parking is very tight, you are guaranteed one space per room. I was also able to check in and park before my room was ready. We just spent the day at the beach and came back and picked up keys and went right to the room.

Would stay again ! Cleaning lady was very nice!

Only complaint is the shower head looked like mold or mildew on the head of the shower , but everything else was great in the room! Front desk lady wasn’t friendly when we were leaving. But other than that I would definitely recommend this place and already having my grandparents booking there soon. The room was very clean !

Last minute getaway to OCNJ, grabbed the 'apt' and it was very large: full living room with 3 sofas, dining area, full sized kitchen, plus a separate bedroom and bath. The bed was small for the size of the room but worked well for my young son and myself and was comfortable. Bathroom very small and odd layout but again for a night, it was fine. There are 2 ac units for the apt, one in living space and one in bedroom. The bedroom one was a bit loud but was fine because it helped drown out the noise of neighboring rooms. Other reviewers noted walls were very thin, this is true, practically like sharing a room. Overall for a night or two, it worked perfect for us to walk up to the boardwalk and enjoy the beach. Parking can be tough (very small lot with some overflow parking we were told about but since we could walk everywhere we didn't have to move the car and lose our spot.)
