The employees were all very nice and we were able to check in an hour early with no issue. The room was okay, but you could tell its old bones with a mediocre face lift. I realize this property is oceanfront, but there was sand everywhere in the room. The balcony was dirty and furniture was broken and dirty too. I would book again if the price was dropped at least $50/night.

Liked that it was located on the boardwalk and that is about it! Hotel was very dated and in need of major renovation. I don't think anyone had cleaned any of the windows in lobby area all summer. We were there first week in Oct. room had not cleaned very well, in fact whole hotel had not been up kept. Breakfast, what can I say about buffet being in a converted storage room! Yuck!

Overall it is totally apparent NO ONE CARES about this property. Carpets were filthy, dust, chipped paint, children running wild in pool area dropping food, broken coffee pot in room, I waited for the cot that was charged but never brought to my room. Food residue on fridge, food in drawers where clothes go. Sad to see. Parking lot and outside and parking garage floor looks like it is never cleaned. Dirty Dirty Dirty

I do apologize for these issues. This not how or want to present our property. I have forwarded this to my GM. I also am not sure why you were charged for the cot. I do apologize and we are looking forward to this coming winter to make some improvements throughout the hotel

I liked the in door/out door pool area. It has a nice area to lay out and get some sun, with easy access to the pool to cool back off.
