The bed was a little too firm for me It was a little loud due to street traffic. The room was clean and the balcony and ocean view was really nice! The breakfast selection was good! The staff was nice and apologetic about the inconvenience ![Nice view from our balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8a7f91c-8d50-4ba7-b150-0910b8b7c6cb-1758734683637.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Desirae Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We will be back!

The rooms were fine, a little small but the price was great for a weekday overnite stay. Breakfast was continental with not much variety... better to eat elsewhere. But again, price was good for the rooms and location so I don't mind eating elsewhere. ##### Judy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Des Mar 30, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Location is perfect Excellent location beach across the street and less than a mile from boardwalk.
