"Great place"

"We had great stay. The room layout worked out perfectly for our family! This place was clean and had great proximity to the wharf & boardwalk. "

"Recently remodeled room by all appearances. Breakfast was fine. Friendly staff. A few blocks from the coast."

For example, a worn-out door lock, a dripping shower, and curtains that don’t fully close. Nothing major, but these details do impact the overall impression."

Even worse, we found a gummy bear in the bed, which made it clear that the sheets had not been properly changed. That completely turned me off. I felt uncomfortable the entire night and barely got any sleep. Bracelet in chair. I brought my concerns to the front desk. Initially, I was offered free parking, which I already had, along with a $40 breakfast credit since I had become a member. Eventually, they refunded half of my stay, which I appreciated. However, I later realized that I was still charged for parking—despite being told it would be free. The hotel’s entrance and overall appearance are nice, but the cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. It honestly feels like the cleaning service needs to be reevaluated. There needs to be more pride taken in maintaining the rooms. At this point, I don’t feel like going through the hassle of cal"

"The rooms were very small but efficient a double double bed room? I haven’t seen a double bed in years! My biggest gripe is that the hotel is directly on the beach and boardwalk and didn’t allow us to take towels to the beach or provide separate beach towels. "
