We enjoyed our stay at this property! We had ocean front which was amazing Property management was very attentive for items that were left in the room and their return. Would definitely suggest ocean view room, right on the main drag next to the boardwalk.

I was in room 301 and could hear the person in the room above just walking across the floor. That's unacceptable for a hotel. Worse, the occupant above during my stay paced continuously and heavily both nights for at least 5 hours each time -- until after 2 a.m. I got little sleep. The foam earplugs provided just don't cut it.

No breakfast?

We had a very comfortable stay. Great comfie bed, super soft sheets, very clean and very dog friendly. The room had a view and the largest walk in shower Iv ever seen in a hotel, with a rain fixture even my 6ft hubby could stand under comfortably. The dog run was neat, clean and so nice . This is a great amenity. The hotel is close to the beach, the big ardwalk and the municipal pier - right across the street. Our only issue was breakfast in the AM - we understood that a breakfast was included, but we did not find any breakfast items. Perhaps we missed it somehow. There was no one at the front desk when we checked out at 10am to ask.
