Didn’t like the fact that the bathrooms were very small and tight. No table & chairs to sit at and no refreshments area to get a bucket of ice. You had too buy a bag of ice

There were no sheets/pillows or blankets for the pullout sofa bed and having to go look for some was inconvenient but everything else was nice. Especially the view from our balcony. I would stay again. The staff was great, very friendly. Loved the location.

I liked how the pool is in close proximity to the room, how the room is equipped with all the necessary appliances, and how comfortable the bed is. However, due to the terrible weather we couldn’t use the pool or enjoy the beach. Plus the vending machine only accepts cash.

Great place to stay! Very convenient for walking to the boardwalk. Rooms are clean. A couple of the lights/outlets didn’t work in our room but it wasn’t a huge deal, that would be my only “complaint”

Just ok

This hotel needs some updating. The bathroom is dark and dingy. No handsoap to be found. The bodywash was 1oz tiny tube for 4 people. The sheets and blankets had stains on them. I paid 1300$ for 2 nights so I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

The overall property and our room was a bit dated and in need of updating. However the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was also very clean and the bed was comfortable. Given the price we paid, at the height of vacation season, we feel that the Crusader was a very good value and we were very pleased with our stay there.
