6.6/10

The hotel offers a stunning view of the Ferris wheel and boardwalk, making it a convenient spot for beach lovers and event goers alike. The staff was friendly and provided great service, highlighted by some tasty burgers. However, I encountered some issues with the room where it smelled stale and lacked heating, ultimately leading to an early checkout. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but improvements are needed in the room conditions.

Rooms

5.0

The room had a nice view, but it smelled like old cigarettes and was quite cold, making it uncomfortable to stay in. The hot water was also not working, which was disappointing.

Service

8.0

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and I appreciated them informing me about a bed bug issue beforehand, which made me feel more at ease.

Location

10.0

The location is perfect, right on the boardwalk and just across from the beach, which was great for our plans.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were available within the hotel, but the ordering process was confusing, and the food quality was not worth the price paid.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel had a couple of restaurants that were handy for breakfast, but overall, there weren't many additional facilities to enjoy.

5.8/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is great, right in front of the beach and near the boardwalk, the rooms could definitely use some improvements, especially with cleanliness. The service wasn't the friendliest either, which was disappointing. On the bright side, the hotel is clean and comfortable, making it a decent place to stay.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were fairly clean and comfortable, but I did notice a bad odor in the one I was put in later. It could have used some more attention as it had dirt on the floor and some unwanted pests.

Service

5.0

I found the service lacking at times; the staff wasn't very willing to help with issues I faced. However, I did get great assistance from the manager when I needed help.

Location

9.0

The hotel is in a perfect spot, right on the boardwalk and close to the beach. It's also near the Steel Pier, making it a convenient location for fun activities.

Dining

5.0

I thought the dining experience was poor for the price, with confusing ordering and sometimes receiving the wrong food. However, it's handy to have restaurants nearby.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel facilities could be better maintained; the handicap bathroom seemed outdated and an extra charge for parking felt unnecessary.
