Hotel isn’t a 5 star resort or anything, if you go in with the right expectations you’ll be happy. We had a beach walk up room, which was on the first floor with the pool directly in front of it. Convenient to get to beach, and it’s on the west end, more quiet part of the beach which we liked. Facilities could use an update because things definitely show their age, but for the price it’s acceptable

Beach access was great but the TV in the living room had about 15 channels that were viewable, the rest were static. The TV in the bedroom didn't work - there was sound but no picture. Two of the outlets in the living room area didn't work - overall it was just a subpar experience. Would not stay again.

This lovely loft style room was really nice with a walkout to the patio & boardwalk. Plenty of homey room to move around & cook. We really enjoyed being able to watch the sunset each evening from the patio. It wouldve been good to have a dust mop to run over the floor to keep the sand up.

Upon arrival to our room, it had a foul odor that we had to buy an air freshener spray to get rid of. We were there for four nights and five days. We NEVER saw a cleaning person, and we had to go to the office to get towels and toilet paper. The dishes had been put up dirty and had to be washed, AND, they charged me $11 for using ONE of their bags of coffee!!! I definitely would NOT recommend this place to anyone!!
