"Not bad, but not good either."

8.0

Loved that the hotel was right across from the boardwalk.Very clean and the beds were comfortable.

The air conditioner was loud and whoever gets the bed right next to it freezes. The noise level made it hard to fall asleep. Also we couldn't locate the light switch when we entered the room at night. The TV channel selection was not very good.

Can’t beat the location and since we pay extra for upgrade to get the boardwalk view we really enjoy sitting out the balcony and hear most of the rides. The breakfast was a nice touch simple choices but very convenient.

We stay 2 nights and choose not to get our room clean after the first night we run out of toilet paper and didn’t have enough towels for all members. The cleaning staff could check on us and provide what we need for the second day stay even though our choice not to get the room clean.

The location was great. Room was clean and hotel staff were kind and helpful.

The only thing i didn't enjoy was the elevator was a little dingy and looked like it needed a cleaning. Also the room was a tad but dim in terms of lighting, but overall very minor issues. Other than that it was a great stay! I highly recommend it to all looking to stay for the boardwalk

Very close proximity to boardwalk.

Rooms were small and a little dated but nothing you can’t deal with. You can see they have done their best to update an older building.
