The Aqua Breeze in had an easy check in process, was pet friendly, rooms were clean and staff was courteous. Walking distance of the boardwalk. Only thing I would love is for them to add a designated space for pets to pottie. Overall, greag stay!

Felt safe. I don’t like That they don’t put coffee in the rooms. Their office is closed a lot, too. They don’t allow smoking on the property, which is fine, but there are cigarette butts everywhere by the sidewalk. If they aren’t going to allow smoking then they need to put an ashtray out there at least!

We had a nice stay for one night while visiting the boardwalk. You cannot beat the location. Hotel is older but you can tell they are trying to maintain it as well as possible. Would definitely stay there again bc of location.

Room was typical for a touristy beach town. It's an older hotel with wear & tear but it served its purpose. Grandkids loved the outside murals & sea theme. Very conveniently located across from boardwalk. Saved us from having to pay for parking in the lot across the street.
