The windows didn't have a screen protector. We had two small children it could easily be an accident. No ocean view or partial view. Also loud with the construction next door.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were modern & clean. Great location across from the boardwalk. Really the only negatives were the noise from multiple doors opening and closing throughout the night and the lobby was difficult to get to. We had to back out of a cramped parking garage in order to park in the lot around back. Would recommend as long as you can tolerate the noise.

It was a leap of faith choosing a hotel thru Expedia and Marea Sol did not disappoint. With all the basic amenities needed and a small cafe on the property. Very short walk to the beach, the boardwalk and wharf. No complaints. Dennis at check in was pleasant and funny. We had a little problem with the bedside lamp but he immediately gave a solution. All great, thanks.

The staff is amazing and especially the cleaning crew who were in constant motion making the place look & smell so clean. Our room was also clean & comfortable and although there’s construction going on across the street, the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel with close proximity to the beach and boardwalk made our stay feel like a real vacation

Comfortable, convenient, and clean

It was a great hotel and in the perfect location. A quick walk to the boardwalk and local shops and restaurants, easy onsite parking, friendly staff, and a cute onsite cafe. The area seemed safe, room was clean and spacious— not a super fancy hotel, but it was still modern, cozy, and smelled good (didn’t smell like a musty hotel ). Our only issues were the bathroom (barn style door) was very difficult to open and close. It took some muscle to work it! Maybe some WD40 would fix that. The smart TV didn’t work well— after we connected Netflix, it crashed. But that wasn’t much of an issue because there was cable. Otherwise, it was an overall great stay and I’d come back!
