Great location! Roof top pool and bar was great, beds and pillows were comfortable. Room could have been cleaner. Sand on the floor from the last people who stayed, dirty corners of the rooms and bathroom, dish soap was cheap and ice machine didnt work and had to walk up to the 4th floor to get ice. We used the pull out sofa and it was covered in crumbs and the mattress was stained. We called for housekeeping several times and it took hours for them to get what we needed. Housekeeping carts were in the hall most of the time so we took what we needed and swept our own floors.

Worst hotel experience ever!

10/10 do NOT recommend. I've never been treated so poorly by a staff member in a hotel. It started off great with check-in, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. We only stayed 3 nights and I was traveling alone with 2 small children. During the second night, at 11:30pm, long after we all fell asleep, the phone rings in the room. I missed the phone because I was asleep and I was confused by what was ringing. I assumed someone called the room by accident, given the time. Then suddenly, someone starts banging on door. I was afraid to open the door but did anyway. Hotel security was standing there, he told me there was an issue with my credit card and if I don't resolve the issue at the front desk by midnight, he threatened to evict us from the room. I told him I couldn't leave because my children were sleeping. I called the front desk and the woman was extremely rude, repeating the same thing hotel security said. She claimed my credit card was declined and I had to come downstairs if I wanted to continue my stay. She also refused to accept my credit card over the phone. When I told her my children were sleeping and I couldn't leave, she said "we have cameras, your kids will be fine". Against my better judgment, I went downstairs, only to find out this entire problem was over a $14.95 resort fee! I have never been treated so poorly in a hotel, this should NEVER have happened, it was completely unacceptable to be threatened at 11:30pm at night. I will never stay again.

Stayed for a few days. First night was okay. Second and third night we found roaches. Brought up to girl at the desk and said she would tell the manager. Luckily we checked out that day. Bathroom toilet and sink were barely functioning. Floor was dirty and had squished bugs all over it. Will never stay again.

This is my second time staying here and I will definitely be back! I stayed last year and had another great experience. The location is great, right off of the boardwalk. The pool bar is also a plus. The rooms do have some areas of improvement but nothing that would prevent me from coming back.

Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a side view of the boardwalk and beach. The hall was narrow and the housekeeper had to move her cart into a room in order for us to pass with the luggage cart. The carpet in the hall was older and somewhat stained. There is only one elevator which was mostly okay except at check-in time. We enjoyed eating at the pool bar and also the pool on the roof which provides a great view of OC. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is just old and some things can't be remedied.
