Location was nice. AC Unit inside cover hasn't been clean for months dust all over it. Furniture a little outdated. Walls very thin. You can hear everything from the rooms around you. Hotel rooms need an update renovation.

Old and unkept. Weak spots in floor, furniture old, balcony over looks old nasty roof of lower level and attached restaurant, over looks patio of restaurant so hear dishes and people eating all day, when you walk down to boardwalk you walk behind Woodys small restaurant so see all their trash. Was close to beach and good view of beach if didn’t look at roof line. Also didn’t know until we got there that we had to pay another $110 to park for 3 days. Assume paid for hotel that included parking in their lot.

The location is fantastic!!!! But it could use a few perks such as beach chairs and the vending machines and ice machine were pretty sketch. An update and relocation of those would be great. Also, carry some Pepsi products. A mountain dew would have made a huge difference.

Interesting. Nothing fancy. Sofa in room was ripped. Window curtains dos not close all the way even though the parking lot was designed to have cars park directly in front of windows only 3 to 4ft away headlights can basically shine through to give perspestive.

The staff were friendly. The hotel was quiet and in a safe area. Lots of dining and shopping nearby. Loved how close the beach was. Room was pretty rundown though. Furniture was very used and stained. Bedding had some stains too. Bathroom door wouldn't shut all the way. Pool was heated and clean tho!

This property is all about LOCATION. The hotel, (perhaps more motel) itself is “tired” and worn, but the accessibility to the ocean, pubs, restaurants etc are fantastic and the views and people watching extraordinary. The staff were friendly and helpful.
