Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the beach and conveniently close to various restaurants. The rooms were spotless and provided a cozy environment, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the pool area was impeccably maintained and delightful. The pricing was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included in the package.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had two balconies, which was a nice touch, but the neighborhood wasn't the best. The service was excellent, especially with the manager's attention. The proximity to the Boardwalk and park was convenient, but the dining options were limited to wood-fired pizzas. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel had comfortable beds with 2 balconies, making for a cozy stay. However, the neighborhood around the hotel wasn't the best. The service, though, was top-notch with a friendly manager always available. The location was convenient for accessing the boardwalk and theme park, but the dining options were limited, although traditional dishes were included. The facilities were handy, but the price may not match the overall value.
