5 Stars – Fantastic Stay! I had an amazing experience during my stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, everything was top-notch. The rooms were incredibly clean, spacious, and well-appointed — you can tell attention to detail is a priority here. The beds were super comfortable, and everything felt fresh and modern. One of the best parts was the location — there are tons of activities and attractions nearby, whether you're into shopping, dining, or exploring local sights. It made it easy to keep busy and enjoy the area without needing to go far. The staff was friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. I’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and will definitely be coming back!

Good location

The Casablanca is in an excellent location. Walking distance to the beach, wharf and boardwalk. I don’t like that they now charge for parking. For over $400 a night, parking your car should be included. The room was great- it had lots of space and a nice bathroom. There are people on the streets all night making noise so they provide earplugs. Two things I think need improvement- the pillows are awful!!! Get new ones that are flat.. not those hard ball like pillows. The fridge was also loud… it makes a noise all night which also makes it hard to sleep.

There was limited hours of staff on duty. No phone in rooms. Guests were left unattended. Guests were noisy and inconsiderate of others no staff on duty to supervise. No cleaning staff to be seen. It was a free for all.

Would Go back.

Had a really great stay at the Casablanca Inn. Spent two nights for my anniversary. You cannot beat the location of this property. Walking distance to the wharf, restaurants, the beach, and the boardwalk. Our room did seem to be on a path to the road which made it a little busy but it was quiet at night so I wasn’t bothered by it. The bed was very firm but comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own pillow if you’re picky about that. The front desk was informative and helpful. Really nice big shower. Nothing bad to say. We would go back.

Casablanca Hotel

Cons: This place was clean, except we did find concealer on both the shower curtain and one towel, which made us question whether the towel was actually cleaned before being folded and placed in our room. The pillows were the smallest I've ever used in a hotel-think throw pillow. But, to be fair, I slept fine and so did the others staying with me, so it didn't matter. I think, for a man, the pillows would be an issue. We also didn't have any confidence in the locks in this room...would be very easy to break in through the window facing the ocean and the front door didn't have a double lock like every other hotel we've stayed at before. Lots of stairs for anyone who has mobility issues (not an issue for us, but we noted my mom would struggle staying there). Currently, they're doing construction on the hotel, which starts very early (7 am). Pros: Affordability with an ocean facing room...very much appreciated the value aspect. For how cheap the room was, the room was clean. The mattress was comfortable. They give you slippers, which we all enjoyed. The shampoo was actually decent. The service was excellent and there was paid parking, but there were plenty of spaces for guests.
