Very friendly staff. Excellent early check in and access to beach badges so you can enjoy your day before the room is ready and they let you use your beach badges after checking out until 3pm. Two beach days for the price of one night.

The hotel property was very nice. It had great parking and it was super convenient to go to the beach that said the room was super dated and really in desperate need of renovation. Also, the staff accidentally charged us twice for the room which felt unprofessional and deceptive. It definitely left a bad feeling upon departure.

Hi Beautiful People! The staff members who checked us in were fast, efficient and very friendly! The room was clean and we were able to grab the parking spot right in front of our room. The bed and pillows were ok. Again, most importantly, they were clean. The beach was 1/2 a block from our room!!!! We took a 20 minute ride to Beach Haven and had dinner at the Black Whale, which was wonderful! We would absolutely return to this establishment!!

I had a pleasant stay. The location is convenient for restaurants and the beach. I had pleasant interactions with the staff, except when I checked out. The gentleman at the front desk was on the phone, so I waited patiently in front of him. Another customer entered from the back door and waited to check out as well. The gentleman ignored me and turned to the side to address the other customer. I don't really know what to make of this interaction. The other staff were terrific.

It was a good value considering how much it usually costs to stay in LBI in the summer. The rest of the hotel is nice but these rooms are definitely the least nice- the building itself is kind of dumpy, the beds were terrible, and the bathroom sink is a pedestal sink so that’s annoying if you’re trying to wash and make up your face. The staff was nice, the amenities like beach badges and beach items were convenient, and I enjoyed the proximity to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and area attractions. We’d stay again, just maybe in the nicer parts.
