Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is set in a perfect location facing the ocean, close to the boardwalk but with enough distance for a quieter stay. The rooms, while spacious and offering a kitchen, had a lingering old smoke smell, reminiscent of a small twin-engine plane. The service was superb, especially with a wonderful receptionist, but the noise starting early in the morning may be a drawback. The dining experience in the conveniently located restaurant was described as vibrant, although specifics about the food were not detailed. The facilities were typical of a suite, and the ability to request slip-on entry was highlighted. Worth noting that the location is close to attractions like the Ron Jon Surf shop, enhancing the overall experience.
The hotel offers a mix of great and not so great features. The rooms seemed like they needed some TLC but were nice, equipped with useful amenities like a full refrigerator and small stove. The service was top-notch and very friendly, making us feel welcome during our stay. The location was convenient, close to the beach but with some cleanliness issues. The dining experience was decent but lacked variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, being right on the beach and close to a surf shop, but the room situation was disappointing. The employees seemed to treat the pool area as a personal space, and the unsupervised children made it unusable. I really wanted an upgrade but couldn't enjoy my stay as much as I had hoped.
