The rooms were excellent for the price that we paid. We stayed in one of the 2 room suites with the kitchenette and it clean and set up well. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we could need for our stay. Although the hotel was very busy, we could rarely hear anything happening outside of our room which was a huge plus. The location is probably the best part with being literally steps away from the access to the beach. We would definitely return to this location

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are recently updated, and ours included a queen bed, a pullout sofa, and even a Murphy bed in the second room, which worked out perfectly for our family. The kitchen was very useful for cooking meals, and the beach view was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always accommodating throughout our stay. The property also has a nice pool and relaxing lounge deck. Another big plus was the location — directly across from a park and pickleball courts, and very close to the boardwalk and bike path. We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to coming back.
