There is a garden park right next to hotel that you can walk your dog . The area at night seems sketchy though. There is an outdoor eating area here with a putting green practice, although I didn't bring my club. Easy check in and out! I will come here again, it was good for a pet and close enough to the Boardwalk .

Great value
We had a great experience. The staff was pleasant. The room was clean and updated. There were a ton of outlets with usb access, so we were able to charge all our devices without a problem. There was plenty of parking. It had an indoor pool and jacuzzi, as well as a couple of patio areas with tables . And it was walking distance to the boardwalk. Would definitely book there again.

Within easy walking distance from the Boardwalk, but it felt a little unsafe/uncomfortable to walk at night. Bathroom towels were very small, worn, and either dirty or very stained. Bed was comfortable, and the pool was nice.

The room could have been a better layout with the 3rd bed. The beds were comfortable so that was a plus. I really like that the walk was about 10 minutes to the boardwalk. Would have been way better if they had free breakfast.

Great Little Hotel
The place is good, what made us get this hotel is that one of their rooms have 2 separate rooms which made is easy since we are traveling as a family. The kids got their own room only thing is that the private room doesnt get AC but its near the coast so if you open a window its okay at night. Its in an okay area, just lots of noise throughout the night. Walls are thin and we heard snoring, people screaming at night, trash people in the morning, and gardeners early in the morning. However the room was great, comes with fridge, microwave, pool, and ice machine. Its only like 10 minutes away from the pier and there is a cute little park in the back. It is family friendly and closed off for privacy. Seems they are renovating so hopefully we can come back to see when its better. Workers are great and friendly. Definitely recommend

We had to make several room changes because we didn’t all show up at the same time; or even the same day. We couldn’t have asked for more accommodating people. They were so nice about helping us. My mother, 86 years old, loves staying here because the people are so nice and there is an indoor jacuzzi which helps her pain. They didn’t even complain when all 40 of us, from three different hotels, showed up there to take a group photo. We greatly appreciate there staff.

Our family stay was good Surf city. The only thing is we asked for the room to be made and it wasn’t. Got back to the hotel with no clean towels.
