Unable to check in at posted time

We had to wait a full hour to check in after the posted check in time and were told the cleaning staff was running behind. This was the only hotel on our trip where this happened. The room was spacious but showed signs of wear.

Convenient

Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. Close to pier and downtown. Left a shirt in room & they were eager to help; I pay for shipping label. Water bottles in lobby market for $9 & $10 ...ridiculous & outrageous. Website lists $25 for parking per nite & actually $30 when valet takes car.

Grandkids had fun in spite of couple glitches

Family trip to boardwalk. Stayed here couple years ago and was nice so we booked again. This time though one of four booked rooms was not available due to staff check-in error; eventually fixed but meanwhile no parking available for that family. Still charged though for two days even though garage parking used one day. Couple rude employees as well; when I booked one room online I literally had to ask the clerk to quit yelling at me and to listen to what I needed; she literally had me in tears and ready to lose it. Would have cancelled all rooms if I wouldn't have lost lots of money.
Linda M, 3-night trip

Bed was not that comfy and YouTube didn’t work and for kids that’s big lol. But other than that it was great

4/10 Fair

The elevator did not feel trustworthy. I heard another family saying they got stuck in the elevator. The hotel is not even a year old and has problems. The parking was terrible. It is too over priced. I would not stay there again.
