Great for teenagers or college students, but left a lot to be desired for anyone looking for more upscale accommodations. There was no fan or towel racks in the tiny little bathroom. The bathroom sink was outside the bathroom, next to the beds. the shower head was a little plastic clip-on thing that fell off in your hand whenever one tried to redirect the spray. There were no shelves in the refrigerator, except one on top that was apparently a freezer. Our slice of pizza froze to that surface and we had to leave it. There was no way to put any other food in there. Two outlets were broken, and there was a large head-sized hole in the wall between the beds. Rooms too small to include a desk, and no luggage caddy available. The ice machine & pool were in a completely different hotel! And the A/C unit could wake the dead. And no elevator. Lots of noisy partying going on at nighttime, so definitely best for the younger crowd

We liked the convenience of being close to the boardwalk at a reasonable hotel fee. The only thing that was difficult for us, was to try to charge our electronic devices with very limited outlets. I would suggest taking A multi plug adapter.

Junk
The beds were the smallest queen size mattress I’ve ever seen, not even comfortable. The web site showed a kitchen, all we had has a little fridge an microwave. But a family of 4 with 2 small children on the 3rd floor. Only good thing about the room has it was one block from the boardwalk. They never even showed up up to clean our room for a 5 days stay. There’s a lot of other bad things to write about this hotel, but I never stay there again or even refer anyone to stay there

From the pictures online, I did not expect anything spectacular but I did expect at minimum an average room near the beach. The room was dirty with obvious old stains on the walls and on the lamp shades, the bathroom was minimally clean with a layer of dirt around the molding, and the microwave appeared as though it legitimately melted on the inside. The hot water for the shower would go in and out throughout your time in the shower and on the third night the water just stopped mid-shower for approximately 5 minutes before coming back on alternating between hot and cold. The first staff member I told about the water apologized and said he would have maintenance look into it. He must have as the second day was fine. I told a different staff member that the water legitimately went out mid shower without me turning it off and he seem as though he was annoyed that I was telling him and gave a half-hearted apology. The other guests staying there made it interesting to not know if it was the television or guests fighting. With all of this, the ONLY great thing about this spot is the location. It was 2 blocks from the boardwalk and the beach so pretty centrally located, however there are several other hotels also centrally located that would likely be a cleaner option for similar price. I would NOT recommend this property at all.

We stayed here for 5 days/4 nights. We were on the 3 floor with no elevator. We had no wifi in our room the entire stay, even though we complained to the staff multiple times about it. The pool that the website said they had was at a different hotel entirely, and that hotel was a block away! Only free outlet was right above the sink. We had ants coming into our room by the window next to the sink, which was in the room and not in the bathroom. Very disappointing hotel experience.

The place was a dump. The floors in the hallways were dirty and looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in days. The bathroom door couldn't be opened all the way because it hit against the toilet. There were water spots on the ceiling. The bathtub had a crack in it and looked like it had been spray painted. The faucet in the sink sprayed out onto the floor when turned on. I would have asked for my money back, but they had a no refund policy. Awful experience.

It was terrible soon as I checked in put my stuff in the room was going to head to the pool the door wouldn’t lock. They called for someone to fix it had to wait almost two hours and that’s because I had to go to the office and say something a second time. That night the microwave wouldn’t work and neither did the WiFi which didn’t work the whole time only worked if you were standing in the office. The next morning the fridge wouldn’t work I reported all three problems once again they needed me to wait I waited for about an hour but than I left for lunch. Once I got back had to wait for them to fix it. That night/morning someone was fighting & arguing in the hallway slamming up against the door the wall running up and down the steps and cussing. Called the office twice a woman answered and said I would have to come downstairs to the office. A couple of hours after that the tv stopped working. I asked them if I could get some type of discount because of all the things that happened or some type of credit but they wouldn’t agree to anything. Bad customer service
