meh.

So the location is great and the staff is incredibly kind, with that said my experience was not great. The room really didn't look like the picture, maybe because of what I booked or maybe because I had pets. It was so hot and humid in the room and the AC unit was so so loud. We were right next to the pool door as well as another door used by housekeeping, so it was just noisy with doors slamming often and carts rolling by the room early in the morning and late at night. As directed, I texted and asked for my room to be cleaned, was told the room had been completed, and arrived back to a room that had not been swept, the bed had not been made, no surfaces wiped-only the trash was taken and fresh towels were left. When asked what happened I was informed they have two different services, basically a full clean and a bare minimum which seems to be the default unless by some magic you know to ask for a "full clean" when you ask for your room to be cleaned. There is no signage-no one texted back asking which service I wanted nothing. I swept my room myself, changed all my sheets etc. They refunded my pet fee which was nice but ultimately it just was not a great experience.

if you are lucky to have an ocean view then that's what you are basing your review on. The property itself is very convenient. It is close to many great restaurants, shops and the boardwalk. However the rooms are definitely in need of an upgrade. The bathroom had an awful damp musky smell to it. The curtains had many "suspect" stains on them...don't even want to know. However, the staff was very nice and helpful. The lock on the door broke during our stay and the maintenance staff took care of it immediately.

I had a very good experience. The AC was loud, and it is a portable unit, but I booked it in part because it was cheaper than the options around it and it did not dissapoint. I would stay there again.

Location is great but be prepared to pay $37/day to park. If you don't, you will have to park a couple blocks away. Fitting in the shower could be tough for some too.

This one is all about the location. It’s not a five star hotel, but a very solid value for the area and walking distance to a ton of fun and convenience.
