GREAT STAY

This was the second vacation staying at this hotel. Room was clean, lobby was clean. Workers and front desk were very nice. Didnt have a problem the first time staying here, for this second time someone had parked behind me and they didnt drop the keys at the front desk but the manager i asume quickly went to find whose vehicle it was and located the owner so we were able to make our trip home. Mistakes happen so i dont hold them at fault, it was quickly resolved. I will be staying at this hotel again in the future, will be my go to. Also its close to the boardwalk and good lovation

The rooms and hotel were updated and VERY clean. Tub had some rust around the fixtures and a chip out of it, but was clean and sanitized. Location and parking are fantastic and they do serve coffee and muffins in the morning.

Although, hotel is near by board walk butbhotel is made so cheap there's no sound proof upbor side even room door wasn't parking is limited so when u park sometime you have to block other cars so every time you park the car you have to leave the car key at the front desk Other than that it was okay to stay. Remember i said earlier hotel was made cheap meaning bed pillows blankets and everything was cheap materials

The room was small for the modern style furniture but it was clean and quiet. Easy access to the boardwalk. Staff didnt make us aware of the muffins and coffee we just happened to over hear them informing the next customer as we entered the elevator.

No one at the front desk when we arrived to check in. Had to call the hotel on the phone to get someone to the desk. Room had a pile of dirt that housekeeping must have forgotten to pick up. Room had a strong sickening smell of maple syrup that I finally concluded was probably a coolant leak from the A/C and it's burning my throat. Kids have been running up and down the hallway and screaming until 1:00 a.m.
