I was very hesitant to book a room at this property because I had read so many mixed reviews and I wasn’t sure what to trust. Honestly, I am so glad I did end up booking because my only issue with this property is that they make it SO hard to go home!! My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights and everything was absolutely amazing! We have recently stayed at resorts in that same area and nothing compares. This property was very well kept and clean, the location is outstanding, the staff was very nice and welcoming, the views were INCREDIBLE, and the AC gets ice cold in the room which is a huge deal for me! We already can’t wait to return!
The room was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Perfect location. Don’t be fooled by the outside look of the building, it’s updated and nice inside. Will stay here again
Think “spirit airlines” charges with “extended stay” facilities (dirty and smells moldy). You get charged hotel prices just bc it is next to the boardwalk, but it’s truly a motel. Theres no restaurant available but an overpriced coffee place. You have to walk across the parking lot to get to the front desk. The deposit charged is actually an open tab to all the things they try to charge you. Paid $300+ a night and there weren’t even complementary bottles of water. Even the chairs by the pool are “for rent”. Find a better place in this area.
We had a great stay. Our room walked out to the pool area. Pool area was great and I enjoyed going to the beach directly from the pool area. Weekend evening cocktail bar was a nice touch. Had breakfast and coffee on property. It was quick and convenient. Will be back.
Property was well kept and clean. Pool and hot tub were convenient. Location is awesome.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was in a great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants. It was also steps from the beach.
I booked two rooms separately through Expedia and each room came with a $45 parking credit. The hotel would only allow one credit even though each reservation came with that credit. This was very disappointing.
Also, the property was very clean but the carpet in my room had a hole in it! This was no big deal but the for the price I paid for each room this is something I would not expect. I told them about it when I left so hopefully this will be fixed for the next guest.
