My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room wasn't ready on time for check-in and the pool was dirty. Unfortunately, there was no closet or drawers for my clothes, and the room turned out to be smaller than expected, damp, and very noisy at night with people partying in the courtyard at 3:30 AM. However, the room was clean with an updated bathroom, which was nice.

The hotel's location was really close to the beach, making it very convenient for beach lovers. It was also within walking distance to a private beach, and kids under 12 were free, which was a nice perk. However, the boardwalk area was always crowded.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to the beach and within walking distance to various dining options. While the rooms were a bit musty and outdated, the proximity to the private beach where kids under 12 stay free is a major perk. The property could use a makeover, but it offers convenient access to quick supplies nearby.
