It was a boarding room with a 3 ft bathroom and no windows. At all. We had to sleep one up one down to fit in the bed when I requested the room with 2 beds. Then the fire alarm went off in the morning and we had to evacuate. No staff was on site to talk to the police and fire dept.

Pros: The man who checked us in was very nice. The pool/pool area was nice and clean. Cons: This hotel room was filthy. The bathroom was grimy and definitely had bodily fluid stains around The toilet. Slanted floors. No furniture was attached to the walls, which made me a little nervous as we travelled with two toddlers. Electronic cords hanging around. There was a huge hole above the shower and I could see into the ceiling. Broken blinds. Yikes. Big yikes.

It was only a few blocks to the boardwalk. Besides that, I feel like everytime I left the room, I heard another guest complaining about the condition of their room. Ours had a slanted floor and broken bed. If you plan spending zero time in the hotel, I guess the price was ok.

Never Again!!!
The room was so tiny that you couldn't even open the door the whole way until it hit the bed. The A/C unit was in the bathroom, so if you wanted to keep your room cool, you needed to keep the bathroom door open. But when the bathroom door was open it blocked the TV. So you couldn't even sit in bed and watch TV without being hot! There were literally only 15 inches to squeeze thru between the sink and the wall to get into the shower! The floors were so uneven, that there was a 3-4 inch gap at the door just to make the door swing open. The only place to put luggage was at the foot of the bed, but when you put even a small duffle bag there on the floor, then there wasn't room to walk between the luggage and the bed. Room had a microwave sitting on top of the refrigerator but the cord wasn't long enough to reach any outlets, so you had to move the microwave and set it on the floor to be able to use it. The refigerator and microwave were under the small garment rack so then you couldn't even hang anything on the rack (but there weren't any hangers to use!) 3 Flights of stairs going up to our room were very steep.... but the railings were so dirty and sticky that I didn't want to touch them. No one at the desk when we arrived at 7:30 PM - just a handwritten note with our key (that anyone could have picked up and used before we arrived!)

Rip off rooming house turned “hotel”
This place was a rip off. No phone in the room, no tissues, just a single already opened roll of toilet paper. The room smelled way better than it looked. The pictures are worth 1000 words. This place it 75.00/night at best.

This place is a ripoff and even more of a ripoff booking though Expedia because of all the extra fees they charge. The bathroom was moldy and disgusting. There were no staff available to help us when our room got locked by the code lock even though we were given a regular key. There are no elevators in the building so it’s super inconvenient. The common areas are gross. The beds are horrific. The room furniture is cheap and falling apart. Not worth the money. Spend more and enjoy your stay elsewhere.

I wasn't expecting 5-star luxury, but I was expecting at least a little effort. Why management decided not to invest in anything resembling a quality mattress is beyond me. A decent foam mattress would make all the difference in the world. Instead, I'm left with a cheap flea bag motel type of impression and the need to visit my Chiro. BTW...it wasn't a cheap room; they are making money here.
