    The lobby was tiny which made grabbing breakfast for our group of 4 difficult. There was only one small elevator that often got congested. The limited parking underneath truly is “limited” meaning we had to park further away and lug our baggage.

    Absolutely loved the location! It was so easy to walk down to the beach or to yummy restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious, beds comfortable, and felt very safe.

    The parking underneath the hotel, not well advertised. But there was larger lots available to park in away from the hotel. The floors in hotel room were dirty from day one.

    Parking!!! What a hassle. There is about 8-10 spots under the building parking that were supposed to be for hotel guest only. That was a joke. Everyone and anyone parked there. We paid an extra $33 dollars for parking. We parked in a municipal lot not far away. We were not giving any other options. Someone was also always parked in the loading and unloading spot making it difficult to unload our luggage. We had an interior room that looked into an open air hallway. It was very strange. There was absolutely no noise barrier. We could hear everything going on the halls and other people’s rooms. Definitely do not get a room near the elevator. Room was clean but a bit sandy.

    It was right in the Beach!! We were able to walk out of the hotel to the boardwalk to the beach. We also like that there was a few restaurants around and a few shops. It was to cold to use the pool but it looked very nice. Beds were comfortable and bathroom and shower was fine. Typical continental breakfast. We had a problem with the door and lock to our room. We called the desk and someone was there quickly to check it out. Over all great location and nice hotel. I would stay there again.

    Inadequate parking. Had to purchase (additional cost) parking pass for outdoor, gravel city lot a few blocks away. Elevator is loud. Ask for a room away from the elevator.

    The room was clean, updated fixtures. Beach access was great. Several restaurants within walking distance.

    Sadly our room was windowless (other than a window to the hallway), which was kind of a bummer. And the continental breakfast ran out of a few items even though we got there quite early.

    The location was wonderful, and everything felt fresh and clean. The poor was also a nice area.

    The room was alright... the door got easily stuck and the water pressure was not amazing. The bed was not super comfortable but it was alright. Also the elevator was pretty sketchy- we took the stairs each time.

    GREAT location. Beachfront and also shops and stores right across the street! Gorgeous area over all. There's also a Harris Teeter close as well as lots of coffee shops and restaurants! It seemed a bit slower this time of year (Feb) which was nice if you like a slower/calmer vacation.

    The parking situation was a little different- their garage was free for anyone to use, not just guests- but luckily street parking was available when we checked in. The walls are extremely thin and the room got really hot and stuffy at night despite adjusting the heat/AC unit.

    The location was excellent and the hotel had a cozy feel. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was decent despite limited options.
