Vicinity to Boardwalk, without hassle of the traffic!

Marc, United States of America

Check in was fast and easy. Room was as advertised - efficient and comfortable. Amenities were as advertised - good outside seating and grass space. Nice location near the river and a few blocks to the Boardwalk. Family friendly.

Jellibean, United States of America

When we pulled into the property there was very little parking. The staircase to our room had chips and some trash on the floor. Our room had light switches that weren’t easy to turn on or off in the bathroom. The walls and baseboards were old and dirty or needed some tender loving care. The lock on the front door didn’t work, so they had chains for extra security. The WiFi didn’t work, so we had to use our own data to search places around the area. The hot tubs jets didn’t work very well. And the worst part was the bathroom didn’t have any towels😳. The girl did bring us three towels, but no hand towels or wash rags.

Frank, United States of America

There were no fluffy eggs. The staff o is the best part of the hotel.

Ingrid, United States of America

Hot tub and pool, value for money, back door could be opened to quickly air room

Kirrily, Australia

location was awful and the room was smell like mold and middle of the night a drunk guest was tried to get in to our room . all the family wake up and did not sleep at all. i never take my family to that hotel again.

Afsaneh, United States of America

Bed was very comfortable but some of the lights (possibly the outlets) did not work.

Rebecca, United States of America

The beds we're nice but the picture had metal containers which I thought were eggs and sausage and potatoes served with breakfast. Those weren't there just waffles...

Richard, United States of America

I liked the location and the pool area. The breakfast was decent. Also, I liked the area for my two dogs.

Miriam, United States of America

Breakfast was good. Kids liked the pool and jacuzzi

눉There was an $11 per night parking charge that was NOT advertised or disclosed with booking. The pool area stayed open until 10 PM and a large family (20+ people) had an evening party at the pool with VERY LOUD music and noise. When we asked the desk staff at 9:30 to quiet the group down the answer was that the pool closed in 30 minutes anyway. Bathrooms need a refresh.

“Would not return here.”

눉There was no wifi during the stay. The air conditioner does not work during the evening/early morning hours, must be on a timer because it would only work for five minute interval until 9 in the morning. The breakfast was horrible, the batter taste funny, coffee was watered down and they didn't even bother to clean out the cereal container because there was two different kinds mixed in together. There was broken glass in the stairway that remained there for hours.
눇It is close to the beach, a few blocks away.

눉Noise because you can hear people from outside. blankets are old and look dirty. Bathroom lights gets turned off at a certain time and entrance light. I was looking for a nightlight so I ended up using the lights close to our bedroom. Did not get enough sleep at all. Breakfast, no variety. Eggs or sausage or pancake are missing.
눇Place is close to our main destination.

눉They placed us in a room on the first floor right next to the kitchen prep room. We couldn’t sleep due to the incredibly loud refrigerator that kept cycling on and off. It sounded like a washer or dryer was on ALL NIGHT LONG, and staff members kept going in that room throughout the night and were incredibly inconsiderate.
