over priced, over rated

Pros: Clean, new.
Cons: Honest description of room. Shelves in bathroom.
Location: Downtown and boardwalk an easy walk
The room we booked was called a junior suite. While it had all amenities listed, the room was very small. About 18" along one side of the room for access to bed. Also while the bathroom was nice and clean, there was no room for our stuff. A couple of shelves for our toiletries, would be nice. Nice friendly staff. Breakfast was continental. Will be staying somewhere else next time.

Modern and comfortable!

Pros: Staff service, cleanliness, decor.
Cons: Curtains should be added for sunlight.
We stopped here for a night with my boyfriend and we were very happy with our choice to book a room here. The service was OUTSTANDING! We arrived late and we had let them know in advance (staff leaves front desk at 9PM) and we were given all necessary instructions via text. When we arrived around 9:30 PM there was no parking but we called the on- call number and someone was there within minutes to help us. The room was super cute and clean. It was a tighter space but the layout made the most use of the space. Their are larger rooms we saw upon checkout too. We stayed in room 6, the only one with a little porch to sit on. Everything was new and modern. They really did a great job decorating the place. It was really quiet when we arrived. The bed was SO comfortable and the sheets so soft. We turned the gas fireplace on opened the windows and watched a movie. It was really a great way to end the night. The only issues we had was the the light in the morning is BRIGHT! If you are a sensitive sleeper like myself.. take that into consideration. I head the garbage trucks all morning and it was hard to sleep with so much sunlight being let in. I would recommend they put some sort of curtains above the wood shutters to help with this issue. We were also able to hear other rooms in the morning (walls are thin) but it wasn't too bad. The front desk staff in the morning was great. We would stay here again and recommend it to our friends and family.
