    The charm of this place captivated me. My Junior Suite Ocean View offered panoramic views of the sparkling ocean waves, perfect for sipping my morning coffee. Plus, the heated pool was an absolute delight, allowing me to relax and unwind after a day at the beach!

    great breakfast

    We explored the rides at Belmont Park and the exhibits at Birch Aquarium. The beach is just a step away, making it easy to enjoy the sand and surf. The staff were super friendly, and the breakfast spot nearby was a total hit. Just a heads up, though, the Wi-Fi was a bit sketchy at times.

    very nice location
    friendly staff

    Highly recommend for ocean lovers

    First off, the location was amazing. We were steps from the beach and could hear the waves crashing while enjoying the sunset from our balcony. The staff was helpful too, giving us great tips on local spots and they were quick when we needed extra towels. Those little touches made a big difference.

    It wasn't cheap but still acceptable considering the experience.

    hot cocoa
    balcony view
    small shower

    Had an amazing time enjoying the hot cocoa in the lobby and the beautiful balcony view from our junior suite. The beach access was perfect for relaxing and the warm pool was a hit with my partner. Just a heads up, the shower was a bit snug for tall folks, but we didn't mind since we were there for the beach! 🌊

    Loved the clean pool at 82 degrees and the beautiful ocean views just a few steps away. The space was perfect for family time with all the comforts we needed.

    Felt very cared for, no complaints.

    helpful staff
    no air conditioning
    no food service
    lacking amenities

    Breathtaking ocean views from our king room created a serene atmosphere, complemented by the friendly and helpful staff who made our stay feel personal. The location is perfect for easy beach access, although the lack of air conditioning made for some warm nights. The nearby dining options were diverse and convenient, allowing us to enjoy regional dishes without needing on-site food service. However, a few standard amenities were noticeably absent, detracting from the experience a bit.

    Great spot for a beach getaway

    The ocean view from my king room was absolutely stunning, perfect for sipping morning coffee. The room had a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and microwave, making it really convenient. The outdoor swimming pool was heated, which was great for relaxing. Plus, free beach chairs were a nice touch for fun in the sun!

    great location with room for improvement

    We enjoyed our junior suite with a lovely view of the ocean, creating a perfect backdrop for our stay. The friendliness of the staff made us feel welcome, as they were always eager to help whenever we needed assistance.

    The hotel felt a bit outdated.

    Perfect Location, Sketchy Vibes

    I stayed 5 nights in a Double Room, and the location was awesome, right by the beach! The room was a bit cramped and had a weird smell. The parking situation was totally messy with the fees not clearly stated. The bar/lounge area was chill, though, with nice drinks!

    mostly quiet
    wi-fi issues
    outdated bathroom

    The room was pretty clean with comfortable beds, which made for a good night's sleep. The view wasn't bad either, but could've been a bit better. It was mostly quiet at night, so that was a plus. Wi-Fi had issues on the first day but worked fine after. The bathroom could use some updating, though.

    cramped shower

    The bathroom shower is cramped—if you're above six feet tall, you're in for a challenge. Parking costs are excessive at $40 a night, and that QR code payment system? It was an absolute bust, leaving me to worry about getting towed. Also, the presence of some moldy smells in the room could be off-putting. The air conditioning unit is pretty loud, so be prepared to fight for sleep if you're sensitive to noise. The overall aging vibe of the place may require lowering your expectations, as it feels more run-down than advertised.
