Huge rooms, quiet at night ( except occasional sea lion greeting) and comfy balcony seating to watch and hear the waves at night. Everything you need except breakfast. Awesome staff, location and views.
When we arrived and we found out where our room was we decided to upgrade to a room with a balcony right above the street. Jada and Cody were very helpful getting us into a room. Only issue with unloading was that there are alot of steps between the parking lot and our room and we had a lot of stuff for the four of us and our dog and we were staying 2 days. We ended up moving the car to Main St and unloading and then moving the car back to the main parking lot. The room was large enough and having the balcony gave us room to move around and sit and we loved the view of the beach. Only negatives were the missing tile in the bathroom and that the lights stay on all night which made me think the sun was rising when it was actually 1am. I understand leaving the lights near the front door but we should be able to turn off the light on the balcony, or at least provide better curtains. The area could use a few more good restaurants. We have travelled to the area before and had always wanted to stay here and are glad we finally did.
Very nice property close to the beach. Staff was excellent and offered us a full ocean view room with a huge deck for $20 more. We loved it as did our big pup. Always have a great time at Ideal across the street and taking our pup to the beach is the absolute best. Want to come back soon to your amazing hotel. Thank you all so much😉

Location
First inform us, everyone at this hotel was kind and eager to help just not always having the means to help. The location is the best. It’s in the middle of everything. It’s still quiet enough to get rest. It’s perfect. The room left everything to be desired. I’m not sure our room had been clean as there were long hair in the shower and floor. There was no chair in the room and only one bedside lamp. Our coffee maker was broken, and there were no replacements. Mini fridge microwave were great, but no paper towels or such. This place is in a beautiful location, the views have the ability to calm the soul and spirit. I just wish they made a little bit more effort to make this a five star instead of a three-ish at best.
This is one of the best hotels we've stayed in without a doubt! What makes this amazing is that it's right in front of the boardwalk and the view is incredible. It's also lovely because you get a chance to wake up early (if you'd like) and check out some of the volleyball action going on while sipping on the coffee provided by the hotel. A special shout out to the staff, namely Ellen and Andres, for being welcoming, accommodating, and helping to make this vacation beautiful for the family.
This place is not worth $500 a night. The building is nice on the outside, but the inside feels like a cheap flip. The flooring in the bathroom was buckling, presumptively from water damage around the toilet and shower. Smelled musty… The pillows on the beds were square and felt cheap and uncomfortable. There was absolutely nothing hanging on the walls which made the small grey room with one small window feel stark. 2 stars because the linens were otherwise clean and the location is fantastic.
The hotel is small, quiet & very close to wharf & Boardwalk. Could use more detail on the bathroom cleaning and our bed had no top sheet just the comforter which was an uncomfortable feeling.

The construction next door really ruined our morning. We couldn’t sleep and rest. However the staff was nice enough to offer us a late check out with no extra fee. The hotel is located at the best location. A couple of steps to the ocean. I loved it

I was very disappointed I got charged $2000.00 for three days. That is way too much for three days the view wasn’t very good. I found out there was an event that weekend which I did not know about. Charging me $2000.00 is a total rip off. The hotel wasn’t even that nice. I will never recommend the hotel to anyone.

Very nice hotel right on the beach, Loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the breeze and the view. Right next to the Wharf and the Boardwalk. 10 minute walk to Downtown. The waterfall shower was a treat. Large mini fridge held plenty. Was a little worried about parking, but their upper lot is right there and never filled up.
Construction next door probably hurt the view of some units, but I never heard any noise from it. Only bad part was their internet was very slow most times and the remote control was really slow to respond.
