We had an interesting stay at this resort through Airbnb. It was like staying at a fancy hotel without all the fancy service but also without feeling crowded by lots of guests and staff. Possibly perfect during a pandemic....but not quite.
The price advertised was great but with added fees etc... ended up being an additional $60/night. One amenity they said was included was beach chairs and umbrella but after you book you find out you pay $20 extra for the umbrella (so not really included). Otherwise everything was accurate on the description.
Figuring out where to pull up between the 2 towers took me a few time of circling on one-way streets but I finally figured it out and I felt safe having my car parked in the garage below one tower and close by (included in price).
The resort looks newly built (or renovated) and the room was very clean (minus the smugged glasses in the cupboard) and modern. The only issue I have with this minimalistic decor is horrible acoustics and cold white LED lighting. We had a room that happened to have an adjoining door to next door room that let all the sound through, so when the next door guests had their TV on we could hear it loud and clear. Also a heads up that the heating and cooling system sounded like someone was taking a shower nearby ALL the time which was slightly annoying.
They only provided 2 bath and 2 hand towels for a 4 night stay for 2 guests which frankly wasn’t enough. Also we were supposed to have 2 beach towels (for pool & beach) in the room but we had to ask for them and didn’t get them for a few hours. Having the dishes and glasses was nice but no sponge or kitchen towels were provided in the kitchen... meaning we had to use one of our precious hand towels.
The fantastic rooftop was the best part of our stay and the pool and hot tub exceeded our expectations. It would have been even better if there were some chairs overlooking the Oceanside of the roof and if the glass railing wasn’t so cloudy so views weren’t impeded. Be careful walking around the pool and hot tub areas with wets feet as the flooring surface can be a bit slippery! It was also great to have public restroom access on the roof. Being steps away from the beach and broadwalk was fabulous!!! We really enjoyed the broadwalk for walk/jogging and shopping and our day on the beach was fun and easy. The beach is very clean, the white sand is soft and the teal blue Atlantic is picturesque and inviting. It was also a very short walk to some great restaurants and there was a great little coffee shop just outside the hotel’s lobby which was perfect... and convenient.
Stay Sol was quick to respond to messages but not quick to respond with action and this could be improved. Although we were informed not to utilize the front desk for needs, they were extremely friendly and helpful when Stay Sol wasn’t coming through for us.
Overall I would recommend staying here if the price is right and you go in with low expectations.
