Overall property was average. The updates made to the rooms help you feel like you aren’t in an old motel. Room 214 is NOT the room to stay in if you don’t enjoy the constant sound/rattling of the industrial washers/dryers. Housekeeping has laundry running all day (as expected) but they also continue through at least 11:00pm. Each night we had to call the front desk and ask for the machines to be turned off. I understand laundry needs to be done, so a solution I would recommend not using 214 as a room for guests. When I called to ask for them to turn it off the machines at 10:57pm we were told laundry needs to get done. Other than that our overall stay was you would expect from a Jersey shore motel.

Housekeeping was the highlight

A nice boutique hotel. The best part was the housekeeping service. They actually make the beds lightly clean up bathroom. So many places have lacked this detail since Covid, this was what hotel service should be. We had 3 adults and 2 children, 2 rooms, 2 beds, and a pullout, so the space is a bit cramped. We actually missed having a kitchenette too. We all loved Maui the macaw in the lobby!
