Bed was comfy and it was quiet. There are bright lights everywhere and the curtains are not blackouts so beware if you have napping toddler issues like us.

Booked the double room with kitchenette. Was more like a small 1 bedroom apartment. Kitchenette came with full size refrigerator and gas stove. Perfect for small family. Older hotel right in front of Boardwalk parking lot so it made getting to boardwalk very easy and convenient. We needed an ADA room, but they were sold out (my fault i forgot to request when booking) but they were very accommodating to what we needed. I also appreciate that they called to confirm our check-in eta since we were running late and they waited for us..with a welcoming smile. Thank you

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!

You can hear everyone slamming doors and stomping around all day and night the beds are horrible and they say pet friendly but have no potty areas on the hotel you have to walk across the street to a sliver of wood chips by a random parking lot.

Old but decent, good location at boardwalk

Good location and free parking. But rooms are old and sort of crumbling. Priced too high. Good size fridge and microwave which were great additions.
