Quick Easy Family Beach Getaway

The beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect. There are other more expensive options, but we felt that the value was spot-on and the kids LOVED it, especially the balcony over the street that looks over the bay and wharf. The restaurant across the street, Iconic, serves great food and a large selection...their cafe is perfect for an early morning departure for your adventures as well.

Partial ocean view was great. Could see ocean from bed. Volleyball courts from balcony. The only problem was the poor internet connection. But, Gave 5 stars because of value and location.

The property has many great rooms (~70%) and a few bad rooms (~30%). We were assigned street level rooms (bad) with no security features next to 6AM construction noises (construction was not hotel's fault, but still). Killed several bugs in room. Sad, because I love the hotel look and feel. If we had one of the nice rooms, review would all be good/excellent. Staff were responsive and polite.

the rooms are old but have character. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was the best it could be and when we were not happy with the room we booked, they did everything they could to help us find a room that would meet our needs. Additional parking and proximity to the boardwalk and pier help by not having to pay for additional parking on the first and last day of our vacation.

Room was very dirty with black hand prints on the door and walls. We were hesitant to step into the shower with build up on the floor and walls. This was in an upgraded ocean view room. The most expensive hotel on our two week stay up the coast and the most disappointing.

If you have a stroller or are handicap do NOT stay here. No elevator. Only tons of stairs or a steep walk way. And to get in the room has a huge step. I normally stay in the dream inn and which was the same price and I shouldn’t have changed the stay. The staff was very friendly and let us borrow some stuff to go to the beach since there wasn’t a pool.

We arrived for checkin at 5:00pm to find that the lobby was closed with a note that stated staff would be on break until 6:00pm. What hotel schedules breaks right after guest checkin time begins? The parking is very limited as well. We had to pay for street parking until parking on site became available and even then, it was by luck as there are not enough spots available. I booked two separate family suites which were vastly different. One had spacious rooms, while the other was so packed the entry door literally could not open all of the way because the bed was blocking it. The upside to the hotel is it is literally on the beach and a short walk to the wharf and boardwalk.

Great Location , easy access to the beach. Room Smelled like bleach when we arrived. I opened up the window to air it out but it never went away. Lights on the porch never turn off and some windows were just mini blinds that didn’t shut very well so room wasn’t very dark at night.

Decent stay, location can’t be beat

Location was fantastic and condition of rooms was good. Service was dismal. Broken vending machine they couldn’t do anything about or offer refunds, someone was rarely at the front desk, and the whole front desk / coffee area / back exit towards the beach was closed down until 8am. Not great for early risers in need of caffeine and a walk!
