3.4 Poor
Cons:The only plus is the hotel is a 10 min walk from the Boardwalk. However it is clearly a 2 star hotel... Even that is over doinging it
A
2.5 Poor
Pros:Location, the hotel was within walking distance to the beach.
Cons:Overpriced for the quality of the hotel. While reserving this hotel parking was supposedly included, I had to pay a parking fee upon arrival. When I arrived there was sand on the chairs and on my bed. The bathroom smelled and did not look clean. There was only one towel available, I had to ask for more. I ended getting a few hand towels, instead of bath towels.
A
8.0 Very Good
Pros:The facility is well cared for - newly painted, clean with attention to small details like the lighting in the courtyard. Breakfast was nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable.
Cons:Our room was a little odd - a huge closet that was an obvious retrofit because the door was held closed by a lock on the outside to keep it from hitting the front door (someone could be locked inside the closet...) Poor lighting - no light switch near the door - at night, you had to enter a dark room to turn on the lights, Minimal lighting - bedside lights and one recessed light made for a very dark room, Bathroom retrofit with a strange double door entry and odd shower configuration.
A
