I found this place on a whim while driving, and it's pretty good for a one-night stay. There are many hotels, supermarkets, and convenience stores nearby, making it very convenient. The room was reasonably clean. The town isn't big, but there are some Chinese restaurants.

The staff was, is so incredibly kind and accommodating. They worked with shifting schedules with ease. They listened to our needs and made educated recommendations protecting the heath and wellbeing of our group members. We continued to rebook through the month. Looking forward to to the next stay

Everything was good it was a nice little area the rooms were really nice but the noise was a little too much car's going in and out all night with loud music and their bathroom sink from other rooms was loud so if there's were loud mine was loud too. But besides those little issues everything was good the staff was nice and friendly I just don't recommend you staying there if you cannot do with the loud music or any loud noise.

Similar clean, a nice room. Enjoy the pool and spa, which is a very nice pool inside. Easy to go out to walk around close. Good interaction to communicate with staff members. Good feedback. I would love to come back when I am on a trip travel again sometimes! :)

The property was clean. The rooms were clean. The staff was good. I felt safe in the building and parking lot. The pool was closed for repairs. The bathroom and the sink area were way too small. Very noisy, the garbage trucks would wake us between 5 and 6 AM every morning.

The hotel was far below what we expected. I booked this hotel for the amenities, but they were not working and we were not informed ahead of time. The comforter blankets also had holes in them.

Although the property appeared well kept from the outside, the stay was extremely disappointing and nowhere worth the $379 per night price tag. The accommodations felt more like a budget motel than a hotel. The room and shower both had visible mold, which raised concerns about cleanliness and air quality. One side of the bedside lamp was missing a switch, and the entire room had a damp, musty smell as if it had not been properly aired out. The bedding was thin and seen better days. Within less than an hour of checking in, our allergies started reacting to the room conditions leading us to check out early. For nearly $400 a night, the condition and comfort of the room were disappointing and did not match the price being charged.

This place is was near by boardwalk but not as close to walk up and down and then back . You will be tired ! The pool and spa wasn’t available , not bad but not a Return visit for us . Property states ******* doesn’t describe as is they were right !

Room was clean, but room wasn’t ready for another 20mins after checking in, even though we checked in an hour and a half past check in time. Staff was vague explaining things but ultimately got us everything we needed. Parking was readily available with spots specifically for hotel guests. Didn’t make use of amenities.
