Great option for staying oceanfront. More spacious than a hotel room and it suited our needs for a few days. However, that there is ONE elevator serving the upper floors was very frustrating with how long it can take just to get to the room.

Hotel was great, staff were wonderful and easy to work with. Yhe room was comfortable and clean. Only thing we found was a sock behind the corner of the dresser.
Gym, sauna, pool and hot tub were great. Location was perfect, so much is in walking distance.
Parking lot is tight but if there is no spots we were told.we could park on ramps as long as you weren't blocking the exits.

The hotel staff are amazing and very customer service oriented. They have a wonderful location, close to everything. The room was clean and comfortable, even though there was a dirty sock behind the back corner of the dresser. Parking lot is small and tight, but we were told we could park on the ramps.

The staff is always working on the property. We saw them all of the time. Elevators- there are 2 but only one goes.past the 6th floor. During peak times it was crowded and the wait could be long.

I loved the staff, location, cleanliness and comfortable feel of this property!

Please note: Hotels.com states no elevator on premisies, I did notify the hotel staff of that so hopefully it gets updated.

Room was good. Location on beach and on strip ideal/central. Certain aspects of room were a little dated, but otherwise ok. The price was on the high side for what you get (but there were concerts and things going on...so will go back but definitely when rates are lower). Also, no daily housekeeping service, you have to change out your linens yourself but since was there for only 2 nights, I didn't run out of anything or need to do it. Parking deck fills fast. A bonus was their beach bar Johnny Mananas. Definitely go there and hang after the beach.

This hotel was a great place to stay. I was relatively clean, great ocean view from the balcony, bed was comfortable, the indoor pool and sauna were GREAT, and the location was perfect to access all of the beach area venues. My only concern was the check-in confusion…..I booked through expedia, after a long hot motorcycle ride I get there to check in. They have my reservation, however they showed at I OWED a significant amount still for the two nights in the unit! I showed them my expedia confirmation which clearly states that the two nights and all taxes and fees has been paid for. After a long call by the front desk to the manager, they told me that there was a mix up and i now only owe taxes and fees, I dispute this, finally the manager that they phoned, comes out of his office, and try’s to explain to me how expedia just bought some company named hotels booking or something close to that, and that they use the 2nd company and they have been having trouble receiving the money from Expedia to the 2nd company to them. In the END the staff and manager were TERRIFIC, they waved all charges and said they would deal with it, but it was a long drawn out confusing and frustrating situation. Beware of this when booking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is an older property, but it is clean with attentive staff and several nice amenities, making it a great stay for the price. Check-in was smooth, and we were given a map that made navigation through the property very easy. Location right by the boardwalk meant that we were able to fill the weekend with activities without having to hop in the car. Our only trouble was with the shower, which would change temperature unpredictably. However, the bathtub in our room had jets, so we thought it was a fair trade for effectively a private hot tub. This was in addition to the sauna and rooftop, covered pool and hot tub. We would absolutely return for a future trip!

I spent my birthday week here and I’m so happy with my decision. It was amazing. I wish I knew the name of the woman that I spoke to when I called because she was an angel. I told her it would be my birthday. She said oh really I’m gonna have a surprise for you! When I arrived at the hotel, I arrived to the most beautiful surprise from the hotel! I won’t say what it was because I don’t want to spoil it for the next person lol. But I was so surprised and happy. The layout of the room was nice. I love the balcony and the view of the ocean was amazing. Everything was clean. The pool and the hot tub were nice. The outdoor area of the pool is really nice as well. The hotel does have an elevator. That was something I was confused about before I arrived based off of other reviews that I had read. If you’re thinking about booking, go ahead and do it you won’t regret it.

Wonderful staff and facility. Decor a bit dated but in very good condition.

My only issue was the room was on the ground floor. One of a very few hotels on the ocean to have first floor rooms. We booked a double balcony room but it was more a sidewalk without separation from the adjacent rooms. Also the room being just a few feet from the boardwalk it didn't feel as secure. At night people who weren't staying there would sit in the chairs of empty rooms. I would definitely stay here again, just not on the first floor.
