"We had a really nice time! The fact that we were able to bring our dog and step out of the room and on to the sand was great. There were a couple of little things we weren’t to happy but nothing that is stopping us going back next year"

"We stayed here for 3 nights and will absolutely return! The staff were very nice. They don’t clean the room everyday but the cleaning staff are present, helpful and available to get you anything you need. Everyone was honestly so sweet. The room was clean, the bed frames are metal which I really appreciated to reduce the likelihood of unwanted bugs of which there were none. The beds were comfortable. We brought our own pillows because we are old enough to get stiff necks but the pillows they provided seemed cushy enough. The shower was my favorite part. It felt like a luxury to have the rainshower, mister, handheld shower combo after a long day on the beach. Just a note to bring a stopper to block the drain if you need the tub. This is a problem in almost every hotel we visit so we just travel with one now but it could easily be purchased at the CVS down the road. Almost everything you need is in walking distance. We brought some paper bowls, spoons, Cheerios and milk and ate them on the picnic table overlooking the boardwalk every morning since breakfast options were limited at normal 5 y/o wake up time. Our kids loved the pool! It was a little chilly for us old folks but nothing you can’t get used to. I really liked the turf around the pool; cozy on the feet and the blue and green together just looked so much nicer than the usual concrete patio. You can’t beat the location. Boardwalk rides, arcade, restaurants, waterpark all within a block or 2. Can’t wait to return!"

"So we were a little bit off set by the creepy people in the pool staring at us when we got there, and the office could definitely be a little cleaner. Honestly we were ready to turn around and walk back out. But the staff was couldn't be nicer, and we were pretty shocked when we walked into the room and it was spotless. Ac worked good, fridge was cold, all the lights worked, and reasonably quiet at night compared to some of the other hotels nearby. I have nothing bad to say about this place, would definitely stay there again."
