OceanFront Room Review
Great stay. Beach access is 15 feet from the Hotel. Amazing Ocean View since we have an OceanFront room. The heater is a little tricky. Just make sure you go to the setting that looks like a "Sun" and all the emoji settings are lit, especially the one that says Eheater and Save. Even got a late check out for free.

Loved the view of the ocean. The rooms were very clean. The mattress was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodated with an early check-in. The patio and dining area were inviting, with a fireplace and outdoor heaters, and a nice view of the pier and boardwalk. I would definitely stay there again.

Although a bit dated, the rooms are clean. The customer service and location are great. Close to the pier, shopping, and restaurants. Even if you don't have an oceanfront room, you still can get a room with a great view of the ocean. Parking is a bit pricey.

Cost and value don't line up
The carpets are not impressive as they felt grimy and the bathroom had some water damage on the walls and door. We were right off the lobby so it was very noisy. The crew stocked the supply room at 5:30am, so that was unpleasant. The large gap under the door let in light from the hall and sound from other guests. There is an upcharge for everything, so be prepared to pay more than the posted room rate. $25 to park. $10 a day for Wi-Fi. The coffee bar is pricey with no complimentary breakfast. Two scrambled eggs were $10.79. Overall I felt the cost of our stay didn't reflect the value... I won't be back.
