Property was oceanfront. Room was nicely laid out with direct ocean view. Staff was friendly. Location was convenient to boardwalk and main retail area. Property location was near a lake with walking paths.

Sadly there was beach reconstruction with about 5 bulldozers beeping all day long. While this is not the property’s fault, I feel they should have notified guests. I would have stayed down the beach away from the noise. It was so disruptive.

Our first stay what a disappointment. The room was not clean. The coffee machine was filthy. No hot water. Front desk staff inept when brought to her attention. Explanation re: hot water, “they were closed except for weekends”. I showed her pics of the damage in room and coffee machine and said this room should not have been rented. She offered use of the showers in the changing room which we declined. We overlooked the roll offs full of construction debris trying to understand they were in process of improving. Nevertheless we were paying guests and felt the property was not ready for guests. When I complained the front desk staff told me to contact Travelocity. I asked for the name of the Gen Mgr and said I’d be calling him. The room had clearly not been occupied or cleaned recently. Stains on the coffee maker, a film on the tables and surfaces, dead bugs in the main room and bathroom, yes more than one. No hot water, yes, we ran it for 15 mins and all it did was stink up the room with an awful smell. No one showered. The vending machines were not filled. The hall to our room was filthy. The door to the room stuck. I expect to be offered compensation for the abhorrent condition of this room. The inept staff and their response to me ensures I will not be returning to this property.

This was the most disgusting place we have ever stayed. The rooms were from the 80’s era - old, ugly, nasty furniture, everything rusty and dirty, filth all around the outside of the building, there was no beach view due to const. dead bugs in the room, nasty dirty tile floor that we had to clean ourselves. We should have left but we had been traveling for days and just too tired to find another place. But this place should be condemned and shut down!

Was informed upon check in they were no longer serving breakfast. One of our reasons for booking here again. Should have been offered compensation.🙁

The best location on the beach, if you like subdued and quiet. It is hard to have a room look really clean and pleasant when the paint and furnishings are old, tired and worn out. It is very deceiving when you see the pictures on-line. That said, I would probably stay there again because of price and location!
