The hotel offers a prime location within walking distance to local restaurants, the beach, bay, and boardwalk. While the rooms are superficially clean, they appear slightly run down and old, with dirty floors and a mildew smell. The service aims to make the hotel 'vacation alluring' but could benefit from more attention to cleanliness and updates. The dining experience, albeit plentiful and delicious, faced issues like running out of breakfast items. The facilities overall are sufficient but could use some improvements.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location is superb, right across from the beach and within walking distance of various dining options. However, the dining experience fell a bit short with limited choices. The hotel offers great facilities and value for money.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were adequate and comfortable but had some issues with the door lock mechanism not working properly and finding sand inside. The service was pleasant overall, with most employees being terrific, but there was an exception. The location was wonderful, directly across the street from the beach with great amenities like access to kayaks and bikes. The dining experience was good, although the breakfast seemed like standard fare. The facilities were fine, without any outstanding features.

The hotel had rooms that were pretty but had a faint smell of vomit and mildew. The pool area was awesome, but the basic amenities were lacking. The service could be greatly improved with better attention to cleanliness and updates, though the laundry service was helpful. The location was excellent, with bikes available for borrowing, but the absence of select dog areas on the beach was a drawback. The dining experience was passable with a range of breakfast options but with some shortcomings. Overall, an average stay with potential for improvement.
