Positives:
This was a good price and great location. The rooftop had a nice pool, lots of seating and great views. There was a bar on the roof but it wasn’t yet open, they said by the end of September/early October possibly. Highly recommend viewing the sunrise and sunset from the roof. The hotel has great wifi and two beach chairs included out on the beach. Ice machine on our floor and while we didn’t expect it, they did come to switch out our old towels for new ones on one of the days. The bed was rather comfortable. The hotel is hardly a block from the beach and there are a lot of great places on the boardwalk within close proximity. Excellent blow dryer in the room! Owner was very accommodating to a special request we had.
Negatives:
Regarding the beach view…You can see the water but only a sliver and the balcony only has one chair on it and hardly enough space to sit out. There is a picture in the listing with two chairs and a larger balcony, this was not that room. The room is modern but very minimalist. Very much like a hotel room rather than a condo. Would have liked some extra decor or touches to make it feel more homey. It definitely could have used a fresh coat of paint and a steam clean for the curtains. They were also doing some work in the hallway to our room so there was plastic tarp taped to the walls. NOTE: there is a $50 registration fee that you have to pay to the hotel as well as $25/day on top of the Airbnb charges for hotel fees/access to amenities. We didn’t need parking but if you do, $35/night.
