The hotel had a convenient location near the Boardwalk and beach. The service was exceptional and the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms, although a bit overpriced for basic amenities, were clean and despite some minor water tracking, maintained cleanliness. The lack of breakfast options was a downside, but overall, it was a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was ideal, close to the beach and within walking distance of great cafes. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering both a comfortable sleeping area and a separate space with a kitchenette. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining options were limited, and the lack of breakfast was a downside. Overall, a great value for the money.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had some issues with mold, lacked a heat source, and had a very bright light shining right into the windows with random furniture, which made it feel overpriced for what was offered. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with friendly and efficient staff who even remembered me from a previous stay. The location was convenient, close to the boardwalk but also next to a noisy street, offering easy access to entertainment and grocery shopping. The dining options were disappointing, but the facilities were adequate for a short stay.

The room I stayed in had some problems with mold, a lack of heat source, and a bright light shining into the windows. The furniture seemed randomly put together, and considering these issues, the room felt overpriced for the basic amenities provided.

The service I received was exceptional. The staff was friendly, courteous, and efficient, making sure all my needs were taken care of. The fact that they remembered me from a previous visit in a different season also added a personal touch to their service.

The location of the hotel was quite convenient, offering easy access to the boardwalk and surrounding attractions. However, being close to a noisy street detracted a bit from the overall experience.
