If I could give this hotel a zero I would. When we arrived at 8 pm there was no one in the office. We called the ph. no. and the recording said the office closed at 7 pm, yet we were standing in the office. About 15 minutes later, a woman arrived to check us in. There was a mildew odor in the room. The room was very humid as no ac was on. Once we turned on the ac, the room cooled down within 20 minutes. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The next morning, I used the shower but the glass door would not fully close so I showered with it open. The glass door was heavy and I feared if I closed it all the way it would not reopen. There was a handheld shower head which was challenging because it wouldn’t stay upright in the cradle so had to use it with one hand. The best part of my stay was the ac and leaving this property.

It was very disappointing. Doesn’t look at all like the pictures. Smell horrible. Remote was not working and there was a very dirty chair in the room that makes the room look poor. Good location.

OK but not great
We stayed here one night before embarking on a cruise. It was clean enough but I was a little thrown in the morning getting into the shower when I noticed the soap and wrapper from the previous occupants were still there. A little artwork on the walls would go a long way to add a little charm as well. No chair in the room either. Staff was not particularly helpful .

The check-in was easy and quick. However, the main negative was the scent in the room. As soon as we entered, there was an overpowering smell of freshener. It was so strong that we left the door open for 30 minutes to air out the room. Unfortunately, the scent persisted, which made it difficult for me and my partner to sleep. I had to pull the sheets over my head so as not to get a headache from the smell. Also, there were 2 stray hairs that I found in the bathroom. The walls are thin so expect to hear your neighbors in the early morning. Aside from that, the water pressure was great in the shower. The location is a quick walk to the boardwalk and restaurants/bars. We only stayed one night and I honestly don't think I could have stayed longer than that on account of the air-freshener.
