We love the location of the place which is close to the beach and the Boardwalk. Please know that you need to pay for parking per day. We found multiple spiders in the bath tub during the shower which was scary. Please double check your invoice to avoid food charges that you did not make at the Bistro.

Convenient

Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. Close to pier and downtown. Left a shirt in room & they were eager to help; I pay for shipping label. Water bottles in lobby market for $9 & $10 ...ridiculous & outrageous. Website lists $25 for parking per nite & actually $30 when valet takes car.

Unable to check in at posted time

We had to wait a full hour to check in after the posted check in time and were told the cleaning staff was running behind. This was the only hotel on our trip where this happened. The room was spacious but showed signs of wear.
