Construction was a hindrance but the staff was great and extremely helpful.

Great beach hotel with nice restaurant and bar on site.

The staff was really friendly. The room was clean and stocked . The hotel was in a walking distance to boardwalk. It was a nice relaxing stay .

The office staff was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. Our safe was locked so we could not use it. I called down to the office and they immediately came up and opened it so we could put our things in it. Beautiful ocean view like promised. Will definitely stay here again.

The room was clean and spacious. There was a restaurant and tiki bar on-site. We had lunch at the tiki bar. Not many options but was good and great view

Loved the oceanfront balconies! Some of the storm shutters were a bit noisy in the wind but not bad.

This is an older hotel but we found it to be very clean. The bed was very comfortable; the office staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing view from our small balcony overlooking the ocean. Nice access to the beach; we will definitely consider staying here again.

Highly recommend. Beach front, decent beds, decent shower, balcony is a little small but the best thing here are the people. Unfailingly friendly and the front desk people were the nicest I've met in years

Not worth it for the price

Property needs maintenance in the rooms. Elevator is extremely slow and a bit sketchy, room balcony is barely large enough for chair

Convenient to Boardwalk, restaurants. Liked the short pier connected to the restaurant. Balcony was small but room was big and really enjoyed hearing the ocean. Staff very friendly.

The location was excellent and had a great view but the room was tiny, moldy, and the bed was hard. The quality was that of a cheap interstate motel. I literally got a sinus infection from reactions to the mold in the room. It was in the wall between the shower and closet, so if you opened the closet to put anything away, you got a nose full of mold where the paint was moisture peeling away from the walls. And entering the room you could smell mold. Also, my husband's apple watch went "missing" and no one is coming forward about it. That's a problem. The location can't be beaten, but the pictures also don't show the giant sand pipe running through the beach either. At nearly $700 for a two-day weekend stay, I expect a clean room without mold and to not make your feet black from walking on the carpet. At that price I expect belongings to not disappear. The front desk was polite, but for the price, this is not it.
