3.4
Pros: There weren't any bath towels in room, no cups to drink water and no decaf coffee. No info was provided in room about hotel and we were not told about continental breakfast. The cleaning staff starts before 1000 and they are very noisy. They all gathered in courtyard area talking, yelling across to each other and laughing. Their large bins on wheels are also very loud.

Pros: This property's staff is very friendly and professional. I have been staying at this hotel for over 25 yrs. And it has never looked and felt as nice it does these days. Location, Location, Location. 1/2 block to the beach, a few blocks along the boardwalk to the pier. Grand and Garnet and all the restaurants and night life you could want.

3.1 Mediocre
Pros: While this hotel is right at the beach it needs some serious help.
Cons: Ice and vending machines were broken. Staff was rude and unhelpful. Hotel could use some revitalization.
5.7 Okay
Pros: -Close to the beach
-Relatively clean
-Bathroom was nice
-Free parking
Cons: -Our TV and phone didn't work and when we asked the staff to come take a look they came and poked around and then shrugged their shoulders when they couldn't figure it out
-You have to pay for internet
-This is the biggest con by far but our last night at the hotel, we woke up in the middle of the night to a huge cockroach crawling across our pillows
-No room service the first day
-My guess is that this hotel is not very well managed but location makes up for some of that

Pros: I liked the cleanliness and remodeled/renovated look with LOTS of room
Cons: No FRIDGE, no phone, no pool on premises or hot tub, squeaky floor when staying on bottom floor... annoying!! Not worth the amount i paid!!!
5.4 Okay
Pros: The hotel is nice, and is one block from the beach. That was the good part.
Cons: The staff is incompetent. Woke up in the morning to discover that there were only two hand towels in the room, so had to walk to the lobby to get real towels for showers. TV didn't work - only got snow, not picture - and staff was unable to unwilling to help.

4.8 Okay
Pros: The staff weee very friendly and helpful, location is awesome
Cons: I realize that booking on things like kayak sometimes leaves you with "whatever's left"... but this was silly. I've booked bigger rooms for less money in Manhattan...I killed no less than 10 mosquitos in the room and two huge spiders. The tv never did work, there was some kind of dried white stuff across the length of the floor, which was filthy anyway. My feet were nlacknon the bottom within seconds of getting out of the shower. The shower... that's a whole other situation. It was a little tile box that was barely tall enough to stand up in. The showe head was at my shoulder blades. I am 6 feet tall. Tall, but not extraordinarily so. The water temperature options were scalding hot or ice cold and you don't get a say in what you get or when it's coming. Hopping in and out of the water every few seconds ust trying to wash your hair and body makes for a lengthy shower. There are no "do not disturb signs" and the lack of air conditioning means you sleep with the window open... which, living in Southern California, near the water, for years, I expect... butnits not so relaxing when the garbage men are emptying the dumpster at 6am or there are people PLAYING FLUTES in the courtyard till 2am. Just... go next door and spare yourself.
