"Had a very enjoyable stay. Plenty of restaurants and things to do. Room, balcony view very good."

8.0

Room nicely furnished, bed comfortable and lots of pillows, large shower. Location good-up the hill from the boardwalk in quieter area, easy walk to restaurants/beach, close to parks and sidewalk to north. Would be nice to have continental breakfast, but had seating area with tea, coffee and utensils/napkins if you had your own food. Was glad they sold bottled water too at a reasonable prices. Staff very helpful.

Would have been better if the office was open later. Had noisy neighbors next door at midnight. Called the office and they were closed and no staff on sight.

"Terrible hotel"

1.0

My beloved pet got fleas from staying in this room and it ended up being very terrible stay especially with the balcony that was presented online as if we had our own balcony outside of the room which actually was a communal space with no safe area for my pet and overall nightmare … couldn’t leave the window or door open safely at night and even enjoy the ocean air.
