This hotel is a great value for the money. It’s so close to the beach and boardwalk, making it easy to enjoy the area without having to travel far. The service and staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. Our room had a balcony, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was delicious and had everything we needed to start our day.

Everything was ok.

I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and the boardwalk. The staff were amazing, always friendly and helpful, especially PJ and Kumar who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The room was spacious and had everything I needed, including air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. I also enjoyed relaxing on the terrace and found the pool very refreshing on hot days.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great hotel.

The location of this hotel was unbeatable! It was just a block from the beach and the boardwalk, which made it easy for us to enjoy the sun and the sand without having to walk a long distance. the room and the pool were both quite clean and well-maintained. the staff was friendly and helpful. we enjoyed our stay here very much.

The hotel is quite old and needs some renovation work. the towels provided were small and scratchy.
