"Walking distance from Boardwalk was very convenient. The room and bed were huge, it had all the amenities necessary. The bad thing (for me as a short person)😏 too many stairs. At night not enough parking spaces.🙄 Also the vending machines need to get fixed or have more options. Overall I would recommend 👌The cleaning ladies were very nice.😀"

8/10 Good
"The staff is very friendly. However, the Air inside the room is not well circulated when the door is closed. The room is tidy but not super clean in some areas. Air conditioning is working but a little bit noise and the fan is not very clean. Can hear noise from neighboring rooms and cars outside. Overall, with a price, I think it is still worth it."

10/10 Excellent
"Awesome hotel for families with young kids. Great location with playground nearby for morning/evening park time. Walking distance to downtown for retail shopping and local eateries. Eight minute drive to the boardwalk, close enough but still far enough from the crowds/congested traffic. Hotel staff and amenities were fantastic. Hot tub and pool was our highlight! Very comfortable temps for the entire family. Poolside service was great. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Hotel staff was very accommodating to requests. Hotel provided free bottled water the entire duration of our stay and even offer s’mores kit for the kids to enjoy in the evening. Overall, one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experience. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all looking for a hotel with amazing hospitality and care."
