Great location, multiple options for parking near the beach. Only issue was the sink in the bathroom took far too long to drain. Decent price for the location, would still stay again.

The property is located in an ideal location; close to everything but not in the middle of the noise. The room/suite was great, the bathroom is a bit small around the sink. The check I. Was done at a different hotel, the directions could be better explained. Also, it would be helpful to have the other hotel’s phone number in the room for easy access. Will definitely stay there again.

Close to the beach and boardwalk. Penty of room in the suite. AC was great. The room was clean and everything worked. Logistics were lacking, not enough parking to accomodate guests, overflow parking is a few blocks away and there is no 24/7 street parking in the immediate vicinity. Had to check in and out at another property which wasn't bad but slightly confusing coming in late. Good price, good location, decent accomodations. Not a bad place if you're not expecting a 4 star resort.

Excellent location! We never even needed the car. Right at the beach. Small complex but recently renovated and so so clean and nice! Best kept little secret. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

The pictures on Expedia were very deceiving. The carpet was all stained. The couches had huge stains on them. The room smelled like mold and was very muggy, the air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly and was very very loud. We could not sleep. We left at 4:30 in the morning because the room was just too inhabitable.
