Stayed one night for a family event nearby. Our king bed dog room had privacy fenced in outdoor space with a sliding glass door & 2 small redwood trees inside! It was very nice to sit in the morning & have coffee. Very cute! Charging outlets by the beds were nice. Bathroom was updated. Overall it’s loud because it’s right by the Boardwalk, but clearly one of the nice & well priced hotels in the area within a walk to the beach. Charged $150 deposit but that is fine with us. No trouble parking.

No so clean

Unfortunately, the bed looked like linens had not been changed. There was hair on the sheet... went to the front desk to get new sheets. Got a new sheet for both beds, but I had to ask twice.
