It was a decent hotel for a couple nights with the kids. The hot tub wasnt really hot, test it before you in. It was nice to have the breakfast every morning. Hotel staff was nice. Close enough to the boardwalk to walk.

10/10

We stay here when we do college visits for our many teens. We have a big family so the option of 3 beds is right up our alley. We also love having a patio and free breakfast. Our room was clean and a few updates were done over the past year. Staff is super friendly. The biggest issue was the ice machine was empty on the day we left and a spider found it's way into our room but that can't be avoided.

In a good location but the property is very old and in need of serious repairs and updating. Seems more like a place collage kids would hangout at on spring break.

The Manager, Celeste, was exceptional! She took our many requests, and went above and beyond to help us. She was always kind, polite, and extra nice to the kids, even giving them little notebooks and pens.
