"Great location right on the beach but dated and older. The rooms are just OK with no upgrades - very basic. I would suggest sweeping the rooms daily with the amount of sand around the hotel…never really seemed clean. Loved the location on the boardwalk and seeing the ocean!"

10/10 Excellent
"This property is near perfect. I stayed in a king room with a balcony. I did not book an ocean view but my room was on 2nd floor over looking the pool and the ocean. Balcony is a small juliet balcony with 2 chairs and table and so cute. The room is fresh, modern, upscale. The best perk at this hotel in my opinion is the on-site beach rental. They are affordable, flexible and soo convenient. Breakfast and coffee is ok but there's amazing coffee 2 blocks away and plenty of restaurants around. I would stay here again no hesitation."
