For the price it's exactly what I needed. Definitely would stay here again. I'm not a needy traveler so the bare basics didn't bother me. But people should know in advance, you can hear a cough through the walls and everything that is taking place out in the parking lot. Thankfully all the other guests staying here understood the situation and we all had a good rest without incident.

Shower was very dirty hair in the shower and sink my stay was okay I had to get a new key card 6 times because it kept deactivating i dont know why that was very annoying. Staff was very nice and helpful.

we paid almost $900 for a 4 night room that didn’t even have a microwave or fridge. it was very small, the breakfast on the website said till 10am but was only till 9:30 am, and very minimum for the price we paid. housekeeping also wasnt including we would of had to pay an extra daily fee. overall feel like it was very overpriced and should have only been about $600

It was good enough to walk 10 minutes to get to the park and ride bus. It was 45 minute walk to the boardwalk
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

4/10

It was decently clean. When we asked for extra pillows, we were given 1 and told they didn’t have anymore. We asked for extra towels, and were not allowed any extras without returning the dirty ones. We asked for toilet paper one night and they were all out. The WiFi did not work in our room and there is terrible service. Its not easy to walk to places as the side walks are hit and miss.

They don’t do daily room service. They only clean the room before you get there and after you leave send lots of lil ants in the room but they do give you breakfast

My key card stopped working at least once every day and I got locked out of my room on my last night for an hour because the key card stopped working and the office was closed. Had to walk over to the next hotel and I guess she had a key card for this one. All in all not bad, just slightly disappointed.

Had to return to front desk 3 times before I was able to get a functioning key card and room. The floor was so dirty I had to keep shoes on my entire stay. There were stains on the sheets. Only one person working front desk so don’t expect to check in anywhere on time. I got there at 2:50 and didn’t get into a room until 3:40. They had to switch my room twice, during the second attempt I had to wait for the room to be cleaned. Highly highly don’t recommend

I was surprised there was no refrigerator in the room. We booked a queen size bed, but it was a double or ‘full’ size. The room was TINY. Our room was right beside the laundry room, for a terribly noisy night. I would not recommend this hotel and I will definitely not ever stay here again
