    Breakfast time needs to change to a later time because it was too early for some of us coming there for vacation. There was a lot to see and things to do therefore some people like to sleep in a little before breakfast.

    Everything was within walking distance therefore the hotel location was perfect. We didn't eat breakfast because it was served too early. We truly enjoyed walking to downtown, boardwalk and the pier from the hotel.

    Small breakfast area and lack of seating. Breakfast should run until 10 not 9 as this is a holiday hotel and not a business hotel. Taxes and parking increased the original price by around 50%...it would be good to have an indication of these prices so there are no surprises.

    If the price was any higher I would not stay here again. The low price is what makes it worth it.

    Didn't have a hot tub, just a small pool. Paid extra for an ocean view and it wasn't an ocean view. Buildings were blocking the view. Charged extra for parking. Breakfast was so-so and unattended. No bathtub in room. Rooms were not sound proof. Housekeeping came into the room when there was clearly a do not disturb sign on the door and we had indicated that we weren't checking out until later. Not cool.

    Scent was nice, beds were ok, access was easy. On site parking is helpful. Secured property which is good for the location. Breakfast included.

    Expensive, but worth it. Bed noisy at times. Think frame was broken? No extra blanket.

    Beautiful spot. Professional staff. Good breakfasts. Parking underneath, so protected from thieves/weather.

    I did use their fitness center, it's very small and consists of mostly cardio equipment. Still was pleased I had the ability to stay on top of my routine.

    Suite with partial ocean view was above expected, the bathroom is very large and roomy. Balcony with ocean view. Double television was a pleasant surprise. I was considering a late check out, and didn't even have to go by the front desk to be accommodated - as they send an inquiry by text the morning of. Enclosed parking provided, peace of mind knowing my vehicle was safe! On site parking does cost extra.* Breakfast is a hot/cold menu of items, is very fresh. A++ on the breakfast, very pleased.

    Excellent location and facilities. Room was exceptionally clean and room was cleaned and bed made daily, which a lot of hotels have gone away from lately. The outside architecture was also very appealing and has the appearance of a much more expensive hotel.
