We were in town for the music festival and were very happy with our stay here. A beautiful, clean smelling lobby and friendly helpful staff was a nice start. We had a 2 queen oceanfront room and it was beautiful with comfortable beds and I loved the shower head and stunning view from the balcony. Also a fun surprise for us was the Fractured Prune donut shop in front near the hotel restaurant where we also enjoyed a nice breakfast outside on the deck. It was a pleasant and easy walk to and from the festival at the end of the boardwalk with lots of shops, bars and restaurants nearby and along the way. The price was very reasonable (thank you Expedia!) for the location and accommodations and I would definitely stay here again!

Love how fast we could get to the beach, considering we had 3 under 10. The room was spacious. It wasn’t spotless, but it was bearable I guess.

The room was spacious and clean. Very nice balcony to sit out and view the ocean and boardwalk. Very nice view! And the restaurant down stairs has a very good and upscale breakfast and good coffee!! All in all this is a good deal for where it is and what it provides for you!! Only problem we ran into was we booked through Expedia and they never mentioned that parking here is 20$ per day!! So expect the extra $$ for parking.

Great location to the beach. Our room was very dirty. Had what looked like blood on the bedspread and the couch was disgusting. We asked for the bedding to be changed and a cover for the couch. Bathroom door was broken walls were dirty AC was only in the living room. So on hot days it would not be very cool in the sleeping area. Staff was very friendly.
