This is a great location with a short walk to the beach. Great pool, towels, AC and walking distance to restaurants, night life, shops, etc. very safe. The only complaint is that it’s so hidden we couldn’t get to it easily. We were charged parking by the lot next door for making a wrong turn. It has a green gate and under construction also the water from the shower/ bathroom isn’t heated very well and salty if that matters to you. Otherwise a great stay.
Lady at the front desk stated My card got declined and asked me to pay her in cash. It was all a lie because when I told her I had no cash she proceeded to process my payment with the same card it was “declined” and payment went through with no issues. While getting my information she kept telling me about how easy it was just to pay her with cash. Very awkward moment and definitely something fishy was going on. Next time will consider other options before this one.
This place was better than expected, we only stayed one night but we would’ve loved to stay more. Walkable to all the restaurants and bars in surf city. Would definitely stay there again. And it has AC!
Clean comfortable room , ac worked extremely good, hotel staff were great , pool was great. This hotel feels like a hidden gem in the middle of everything, I will definitely be back
Stay was amazing, check in/out, direction were clear and understandable. Everything was clean, AC worked great. All attractions are close. Can’t wait to go back !
They were like a little houses versus an actual, which was really nice. Ambients of the property is very cute. The pool is great and it’s the closest hotel to the beach.

The hotel is under construction. They offered a room with a bathroom but the room smelled so bad. They offered an alternative room without any issues.

Rooms were clean and tidy.
Check in was easy and communication is the best.
I would only say that the outdoor furniture, gardens can be more cleaner and tidy. I know is winter season now, it rains every day.. just be on top of it so that guest feels happy all year around …
overall I can say I would stay again and again. Very peaceful and quiet
