Guests generally appreciated the hotel's location, particularly its closeness to the beach and boardwalk, despite concerns over safety in the area. Many reviews highlighted issues with cleanliness, comfort, and service, with multiple guests describing their rooms as filthy and unfurnished or uncomfortable. The staff's friendliness received some positive remarks, but incidents of rude service were also noted. Several guests enjoyed amenities like the indoor pool and breakfast offerings, although many expressed disappointment in the limited selection and overall quality.

Pros (+) The only two things I personally liked about this hotel was its closeness to the beach and boardwalk area and that it was fairly comfortable and quiet
Cons (-) What made this an overall negative experience was the fact that I spent 160.00$ for a night in a hotel that was worth 70.00$ tops
