I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, and the rooms were decent with a nice ocean view. However, I did encounter a bed bug in my room which was quite unsettling and made my stay less comfortable. The service left room for improvement, especially during check-out.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel primarily because of its fantastic location right on the boardwalk, making it super easy to access the beach and local eateries. While the rooms had some cleanliness issues and were smaller than expected, the friendly staff did their best to accommodate my needs. The dining options were limited due to the end of the season, but I appreciated the proximity to nearby restaurants. Overall, it’s a decent value for money especially given the location, but definitely could use some improvement.

The hotel has a great location right on the waterfront, giving easy access to the beach. While the spacious room I stayed in had a lovely view of the pool, it was quite dirty, which was disappointing, especially during these times. The service was a mixed bag; some staff were very accommodating, while one was rather rude upon check-in. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The hotel has a wonderful location right in front of the beach and the boardwalk, making it very convenient for beachgoers. The rooms were clean, but we had an issue with unpleasant smells. The service could definitely be improved as the staff wasn't very friendly and we had to manage without maid service for a few days. Overall, it's a decent choice for the location and cleanliness, but there are some drawbacks to consider.

I had a really frustrating stay at this hotel. The location on the Boardwalk is fantastic, but I was disappointed by the cleanliness of my room and the service received. Although the staff was friendly, the fact that I had to switch rooms late at night wasn’t ideal. The bathrooms were in bad shape, which really affected my overall experience. I won't be coming back again.

My stay at this hotel had some ups and downs. On one hand, the location was fantastic, perfect for our family vacation and close to the beach. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but I was quite disappointed with the room conditions, which felt outdated and not very clean. The service was lacking due to the lack of daily cleaning. Overall, while the hotel had a great location and friendly staff, the room quality really brought the experience down.

The hotel has a great location right at the beginning of the boardwalk, making it easy to access main attractions. However, the room was not as private as I expected, and I had to request clean sheets since they didn’t change them during my stay. The service was inconsistent, with a mix-up in my room switch that caused some frustration, and the dining options were quite limited. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there’s room for improvement.

The hotel had a lovely atmosphere and the staff was friendly and professional, which made for a pleasant stay. The location was decent, being close to the beach but a bit further from popular attractions than we expected. Although the rooms were nice initially, they could use some deep cleaning and maintenance. The dining experience was lacking due to unevenly cooked food, making it a mixed bag overall.
