Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is just a short walk from the beach, making it a great choice for beach lovers. Some rooms come with kitchens, which is handy for meal prep, and there are grills available outside for barbecue fun. However, the upkeep of the rooms is lacking, with issues like dirty appliances and cracked tiles, which significantly detracted from my enjoyment.
I had a pleasant stay overall, with a few standout features like a clean pool and great proximity to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the area's attractions. However, the rooms could use some attention, especially the cleanliness of certain areas, and the dining options were pretty basic. The staff, particularly John, was very helpful and made a difference during a rough patch in my stay.
While the location of this hotel is perfect, just a minute’s walk from the beach and the boardwalk, my experience was marred by the conditions of the room and property. The pool area was inviting and well-kept, enhancing the appeal. However, there were significant cleanliness issues in the room, and the noise from the air conditioning units disrupted my sleep. Overall, the friendly reception staff tried their best, but I won’t be returning due to the room conditions.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, being so close to the beach and boardwalk, the overall condition of the rooms fell short. The staff was friendly, particularly Teisha from housekeeping, who really went out of her way to help during our stay. However, I encountered cleanliness issues that made my visit less enjoyable than anticipated.
