The bed was extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I tossed and turned all night. Also the room walls are so thin, you can hear your neighbors t.v. That was very annoying!

2/10 Poor

This was not a good stay and I have stayed at this property before. The parking was directly across from an encampment and a very busy street and not directly in front of the street side room. Aside from the noise, we were moving our daughter into school and had to unload the entire carload for safety. The management would not allow us to park on inner lot and refused to help us in any way. Initially booked for two nights, we stayed the one night and checked out. I will not stay here again. The management was rude and unhelpful.

Pleasant Place for the Right People
The hotel is very misleading with the information provided as they only provided half the information regarding check in. While it is understandable this place may not be 24/7 check-in, however they failed to mention about afterhours check-in which would have been greatly appreciated as then I wouldn't have to rush to check in at this place. I am not not sure why this place would only offer half the information and not just provide the full information so the guest can plan accordingly. Also the room I had was facing the main street and it was definitely loud. Looking back, while I did read the reviews on the noise, it is usually a hit or miss when it comes to this and unfortunately the reviews on the noise is true. It is quite loud for the area. I would definitely choose a different location if I was to ever come back to this area. The rooms while interior has been renovated, the overall color choice is dark making the place feel even darker. The lighting though is quite bright to my surprise. Water pressure for shower is not there, so it takes a while to wash and didn't really enjoy it. For some this place can be a good spot as it is nearby a lot of places such as the wharf and park, unfortunately this will not be a place I will be returning to after my experience. I will try out other places in the future.

The room was clean and convenient but the people staying next door were loud and standing outside of their room yelling and partying until 2:00am and the office did not say anything to them. My husband and 3 year old daughter and I got horrible sleep. Will not be staying here again.

Clean room, very close walking distance to the boardwalk. The beds we so comfortable and the staff was very attentive and friendly! Another plus is that they have full security cameras in the parking lot, so we felt very secure. We plan on staying here again soon
