The hotel is in a decent location, right by the pier and the beach, which is definitely a plus. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they seemed outdated and weren't particularly clean. The service was quite lacking, with staff not being very friendly or responsive. On the upside, the dining options were satisfactory but not as great as they could be.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms looked a bit put together and seemed filthy, with hair all around. They reminded me of an 80s cafeteria, which was not ideal.
Service
5.0
The service could use significant improvement. For instance, I saw a staff member tell a customer they'd get to their request when convenient, which is not the level of attention you'd hope for.

The location is good, right next to the beach and the 14th street fishing pier, which had its own restaurant. However, it felt cramped compared to last year's setup.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, but the timing of our room being ready was a bit of a hassle since we had an event to attend. The location was fantastic with plenty of family-friendly options nearby, though the cleanliness in some areas could use improvement. Overall, it offered good value for money, but there are definitely areas for growth.

I recently stayed at this hotel for our anniversary, and while the location was incredible right by the pier and beach, I was disappointed with the condition of the rooms and service. Our room wasn't ready at check-in time and unfortunately, it wasn’t cleaned during our two-day stay. On the flip side, the staff was really nice and accommodating, but there were quite a few noise issues during our stay. Overall, I enjoyed the location but felt the hotel could improve in several areas.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, as it offered a great location close to the beach and fun activities. The rooms were comfortable, but there were a few hiccups, including some service issues with staff. The breakfast was a letdown due to limited options and staffing shortages, and while the amenities were nice, they could use some improvement. Overall, it's good value for money, but don’t expect luxurious dining options.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, as it offers a fantastic location right by the beach with easy access to many shops and restaurants. The room was clean and featured a perfect view of the boardwalk and sunrise, though I was at the farthest end of the hallway from the elevators. The staff was super friendly and helpful. However, I found the dining options quite lacking, especially the breakfast, which could use some improvement. Overall, the experience was great, but the dining aspect didn't quite meet my expectations.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, especially enjoying the ocean view room which was great and had comfortable beds. The location is fantastic, right in front of the fishing pier and very close to the beach. The staff was really friendly and helpful, but the dining area was a bit underwhelming since breakfast was served in a less-than-ideal space due to ongoing construction.
