Liked a lot: Spacious, clean rooms, walk to the beach and restaurants, friendly staff, sufficient parking.
Liked less: dogs of some guests barking non-stop. Property is a somewhat outdated.

We came down for the Boardwalk Rock 2 day concert, and it was awesome to stay at your hotel. The staff was very polite and the hotel was located far from the action, but extremely close to the beach. Transportion to the boardwalk was easy on the public bus. The whole facility was clean and it’s fantastic. That pets were allowed. We will remember that next time.

It's starting to show its age, but overall a comfortable stay. We liked the large fridge and the size of the room, but street traffic was an issue.

We were pleased with our stay. Room was clean and had nice amenities. Checkin and out was fast and they were really friendly and polite. Only thing I would say is that they need to make sure guest know where the ice machine is when checking in as we never did find it but we seen another guest with their ice bucket filled in the elevator. Also it would be nice to have a soda/drink machine on site. And I know it is pet friendly which I love that but there was one day that the elevator had dog urine on the floor for several hours before it was cleaned up, which made the smell awful. I know the dog owner should have cleaned it up but something that should be checked on more often and cleaned up if pet owners aren’t responsible enough to do so.
