    Beach view

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    There was no hair dryer or tissues in the room, and there wasn't a full set of towels. Location is noisy , which may be inevitable as it's right on the beach. Associated restaurant was good.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place to stay. Simple, clean, friendly staff and right on the beach!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It’s alright. Close to the beach. Rooms fairly clean. Staff and parking not so great.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel was in a crowded area. The parking is horrible. The hotel is a little out dated. The beds were not the sizes they claimed. Two queen beds were actually two full size beds. The room key just stopped working. The staff were nice and took care of it. Last thing, the A/C was a little noisy.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Staff was great, room was clean, view was terrible. The room was next to the laundry and across from the elevator. The view from the room balcony was a staircase to another suite and the rooftop maintenance equipment. Given all that I would stay there again and just ask for a different room.

    Location is exceptional cleanliness not so great Daily parking fees high. No hair dryers in the room Hallways leading to room never vacuumed. Bathrooms shower tiny

    We love this property - especially being right on the boardwalk and falling asleep to the oven sounds.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I like the access to the beach. The rooms definitely needed cleaning and upkeep. Walls, refrigerator, and baseboards were dirty. Stairwell and elevator in dire need of cleaning.

    I love this hotel. I will choose this every time I visit. I’ve never had a bad experience.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location was perfect. Our room was correct. The sea view was beautiful (but you can see also the roof of the lower building, too). Good value for money, if you want an accomodation at the beach. The room could be more comfortable with a chair and a table inside.

    Friendly staff Everything went well

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    just the location is good The place is run down. Not well kept. Dirty and it needs upgrades. Price is not cheap either. Staffs are not honest. Promoting to next door restaurant and gym. Misinformed guests that it was free gym while actually is not.
