"Overall our stay was good. The rental company was very responsive and helpful. They were also able to let us check in a little early. They were very organized and clear on instructions. The condo is very old, the view you see in the one picture is from a tiny side porch that faces the street/another condo. The view from the front porch is staring directly at another condo that blocks the view of the ocean. The condo smelled musty when we walked in. Everything was clean except for the bathrooms...

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was clean and the amenities were well maintained and in service. The hotel was quiet despite being near capacity. The location was within walking distance of everything you would need for an awesome trip. My husband and I will be returning!"

6/10 Okay
"There are teens that come off the boardwalk and use the pools- inside and outside. The lack of supervision means they get out of hand behaviorally. There were two teens actually engaging in sexual activity in the inside pool one night. We informed staff and it took over 30 minutes for anyone to come. The kids left and came right back wit no additional checks happening. We are bonvoy members and requested late check out. They said to ask morning of. Morning of (6am), they said they couldn’t do anymore - so they obviously excepted other later check outs before morning of. The elevator was a HASSLE. One was broken and had been for months and the other elevator was a 10+ minute wait. At 9 months pregnant I didn’t love hiking stairs up and down to our 5th floor room. The hotel has great beach access and rooms are clean. But I wouldn’t be booking this as a main summer vacation - fine for a long weekend, if the elevator and lack of child supervision (from boardwalk) wouldn’t bother you."
