I have stayed here twice now and absolutely love it. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the club attached is sooo much fun. I brought my dogs the first time and it was a pleasure, I left them home this past visit. My only suggestion would be for a mini fridge in the rooms. Other than that a great place to stay and close to everything on the boardwalk as well as a 10 minute walk to town.

My boyfriend and I were in town for a wedding and stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was within walking distance to the restaurant for the reception, the beach and boardwalk. The staff at the front desk were all very nice and the room was clean with a balcony. Since it was off season parking was easy.

Fun funky clean
Lovely room at the end of the boardwalk, we felt safe and it was quiet. The lobby was relaxing. We didn’t realize it, but there was a show there that was so fun, we spent the night in the lounge in the back of the hotel. It has a funky fun vibe, a bit retro. Staff was nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was too small and the bathroom even more uncomfortably small. There was no bathroom counter to put my makeup and hair necessities to prepare for an occasion. There wan no microwave available to heat up food and we had to request a refrigerator. The closet was not big enough to fit our belongings for 2 people.
