Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated, offering modern amenities like a fridge and a good TV selection. I particularly loved the free hot breakfast that featured a variety of delicious options. However, the carpets could use some cleaning and a fresh coat of paint to enhance the overall look of the room.
My stay was fantastic! The hotel's location was amazing, just steps away from downtown and right across from Marianne's Ice Cream, which offers over 80 flavors. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the bathroom had ample towels. The service was top-notch and very welcoming. The dining was good, with a variety of options. However, the location felt unsafe at times and not very close to the boardwalk.
The hotel's rooms were clean and comfortable, but the overall feeling was a bit dirty. I enjoyed the free hot breakfast with a wide variety of options. The service was mostly excellent but had some rude encounters. The location was not appealing due to the surrounding homeless presence. The dining experience was satisfactory, although seating was limited. The hotel offered basic facilities with no outstanding features.
