Elevator out of service and we were staying on the 3rd floor- made it challenging/ not safe to carry my luggage up and down the stairs. Also our room was right next to stairwell, since elevators were not working, people were using the stairs all the time, with the stairwell door closing frequently, shook our room making it challenging to sleep.

Perfect location for family, small children, walking to the boardwalk. Clean, modern, hotel. Morning bfast was amazing. The beds were uncomfortable and the rooms were pretty small. Proce was reasonable, get what you pay for. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pool os maximum 3ft deep, great for small children. Elevator broke during our stay for multiple days, but staff were very accomodating and comped us for the inconvenice

Good location near the boardwalk

Excellent Location and Breakfast. The only Issue and it was not due to this hotel but how La Quinta defines what suite room is. I was expecting a separate room from the main room so I can do work. This room was no different than a double queen bed room and they charge you more.

The property itself was clean but the area around is questionable. Used condom in the parking lot right next to the entry door. So gross. The lobby smelled like smoke as did the rooms a little. We didnt get to check out the pool area but the lobby was stocked with hot drinks. The breakfast wasn’t great but it was fine. I don’t think it’d stay there again.
