Comfortable place in great location

I would definitely stay here again. Great location, clean and comfortable. Despite being right across from the Boardwalk, the room was well insulated against outside noise. Views from the room and rooftop balcony were lovely. My complaints are minimal but may make a difference for other travelers: onsite food options were limited and it was not easy to load or unload luggage from the parking lot.

Disliked: Staff & service
The check in was easy and straight forward. The location was great. But i found it unacceptable that the gouse keepers were blaring music at 9-930 when check out isnt until 11a. So either sleeping in or enjoying the serene beach am was not possible. I thought it was another guest but when i went into the hallway and it was housekeeping blaring music, i found it unacceptable.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The front desk ladies were rude and not helpful. They made us feel like an inconvenience to them and had zero communication with the house keeping staff on when our room would be ready. Very unprofessional. I’m not one to ever write any time of review but this needs to be known by future customers.

Not sure about other people's ratings

Clean hotel, but pretty basic and noisy. Close to the beach, so that noise was to be expected. But the walls are thin enough that I could hear conversations and even a snoring neighbor. I know you get what you pay for but I suggest you interpret "Deluxe" and "partial ocean view" liberally. Staff couldn't really do much about most, although everyone was nice.
