Polite and helpful staff. We had to change rooms first night because issues with tv. New room we got had faulty AC unit and had to call in the staff to change it. All in all good place to stay out of the noise and crowd. Great, safe parking garage if you are with a car.

Easy check in and check out. Friendly and welcoming team. I really appreciate having an iron and ironing board in the room. Not too far from the pier and easy to get to. This saved me just over 50% over shore front options that I booked the prior year

Not a particularly friendly welcome

Not a particularly friendly welcome. No smiles. No engagement. No upgrade was offered despite being a VIP Parking cost not advertised upfront 17 dollars. Breakfast offering could not be described as a "healthy" one, consisting mostly of sugary foods.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond! Clean up rooms, I appreciated no rugs in the rooms. 30 minute walk to the Pier. Short walk to bus and metro. Good coffee and breakfast. Very reasonable rates for a great stay.
