The hotel exceeded my expectations with its clean and bright rooms equipped with fireplaces, perfect for a relaxing stay. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable and friendly staff always ready to assist. The location was spectacular, directly across from the boardwalk with easy access to nearby attractions. However, the dining options, although passable, could use some improvement.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The room I stayed in was nice and spacious, and I especially appreciated the fridge and microwave. However, being located right above a main car intersection on the street side could be a bit noisy at times.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The room was cramped and had an odd smell, possibly from cleaning products, but the view of the boardwalk was beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the broken amenities were a downside. The location couldn't have been better for beach access and attractions, and the complimentary bikes and beach chairs were a nice touch. The dining options were just okay, but there are better choices nearby. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
