The reviews definitely had me concerned, but I would absolutely stay here again; the price couldn't be beat! In my opinion, any complaint I have is a matter of personal preference. Our room on the ground floor had an obstructed view unfortunately. It was nice, however, to be able to step right out to the boardwalk. There was only a microwave and a small fridge in the room. We made it work without eating out too much, but it was slightly inconvenient. Next time, I'll pack my air fryer and toaster. Being on the ground floor, we didnt have a balcony or even chairs outside, sonwe had nowhere in or outside the room to hang towels or clothes. If we have been staymore than 3 nights, i would have gone to walmart and gotten a clothes rack to hang our towels on. I had to go to the front desk tonget clean towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags. I had called and asked for those things but no one brought them. Again, for some, that may be a deal breaker, but it was fine. The desk clerk wasn't the friendliest, but she did her job and what more did I need from her? The room was very clean. It could definitely benefit from some updates, but it was super clean. Outside close to the boardwalk could have stood some more attention. My kids didnt care for the pool because it started at 4 foot and went to 8.5. They like it better when they can touch, but they were abke to play in the ocean a lot so they didn’t mind missing out on the pool too much.

Convenient location and amenities were a plus. I wish the pools were heated but loved everything else. The rooms could have been a little cleaner though. And plug outlets were limited. It was one plug. We had to unplug the lamps and microwave so we could charge our devices.

Never again

The staff at the front desk was uncaring and unprofessional, will not come back. We came early and allowed to pre check in with a promise to call when our room was ready or by 4pm. We went in at 4pm and was told to wait for the call. At 4:30 we went back in and had to wait in line again and this time allowed to check in. We told them we had pets and handicap but they put us on the top floor as far from the elevators as you can get. Our TV went out, was told they were sending a tech, went no one came after an hour we called again, was told the entire building was out. The house phone didn't work either. The food court does not publish the prices and food was very costly. Just a bad experience, mainly with attitude of the from desk and one of them was the assist manager. Asked for a copy of the pet rules that I was required to sign and was not allowed to have one. A scary male was walking around following the young girls and they did not do anything about that either.

Room had a very beautiful view! Staff was very friendly! You get what you pay for here. We stayed one night just because we arrived early and couldn’t check into our condo til the next day. Rooms are outdated which is to be expected but the floors were filthy. After getting out of the shower my feet were almost black from just walking on the floor.

The beach view outside of our room was beautiful but I expected a much better room. The picture of the room on hotels.com is deceiving as the room was old, with old odd furniture, the bedside lights were unplugged, there were limited electrical outlets except for the power strip. There were no hangers in the closet. No iron or ironing board. The ac worked well but was very noisy. The room was never cleaned during the 3 day stay. Oh and the parking lot was beyond full and we were required to park near the adjacent property.
