This place is so cute! I love how it's been redone, and the location is perfect. We were a one-block walk from the beach and close to tons of restaurants and coffee shops. I liked that it had its own parking lot so we didn't have to worry about street parking. The room size was perfect, and it was nice that there were so many streaming services on the tv. The bathroom is a little small, and the hot water took a little while to kick in, but neither of these things were enough to make me not want to come back. Highly recommend this place!

Rooms are not clean , beds are not clean , towels ARE NOT CLEAN. The beach being as close as it is is the best thing you got. Might as well stand OUTSIDE with the bugs cause you sure as hell gone be sleeping with them.

We checked in early for a fee, opened the door to the worst stale cigarette smell, the bedspread had another persons hair on it, the shower floor was peeling black paint, the AC unit had a red caution light on it because the filter had not been replaced. Underneath the sink was a stain that looked like someone had thrown up, the rug that was a border to the bed was so dirty that we had to keep our shoes on, and as I was sitting on the bed I noticed through the large mirror that other guests trash was still under the bed. Also I found 2 small dead roaches. We left, tried to contact Expedia about the condition of the room with no luck. I’ve contacted five on our side about this issue. The pictures say it all. I also have phone numbers for the other out of state guests who couldn’t go home but we’re absolutely sickened by the condition of this property. I hope I never have to stay in something like this again!! I spent over $499 for two nights and conditions were so bad that I’d rather leave than endure them.

Very clean and staff easy to reach by text or phone. We just needed a a basic room to sleep in since we were visiting our kids at their beach house rental during the day. The room had all the basics: bed, tv, bath with shower, small refrigerator, Keurig coffee and bath toiletries. No hair dryer or microwave but we didn’t miss them.

You can't beat the area, you are right in the boardwalk. Room could be cleaner, dust was pretty bad. The staff is very pleasant and responsive. They do not touch up your roon daily. I booked room in March, they waiting until the day I was checking in August 15th to tell me the cost was almost $80 more than what I agreed to on Expedia. I believe this is on purpose because you don't have an option to look other places at this point.

Our room was cute and small. It was only me and my husband, so it was fine. The room had a small refrigerator, so that was helpful putting drinks and food in. There is a big screen tv that was nice to watch on our down time. The only thing that I did not like was the air conditioning unit was in the bathroom, so it was right next to the toilet, so that was a bit awkward. The place is very convenient to everything you need, restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We were upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, you should call before booking to see if they have a room on the ground floor.

The property was clean and in a great location. You are close to all the restaurants and just a few blocks from the beach/boardwalk. The hotel exceeded my expectations. For the price and the location you can't beat it.
