The staff members were helpful. They were also very attentive to any request I had. The location is GREAT. It is close to the prom, so reaching the beach was easy. The breakfast had lots of variety.

The carpeted stairs were narrow. It was hard for me to carry my luggage up to my room. My tv kept going fuzzy. I couldn't really watch anything properly. The shower water was either boiling hot OR cold.

I encountered a few issues . The ventilation in the bathroom seemed inadequate. The mirror fogged up quickly after a shower. The room service menu felt somewhat limited, particularly in choices for late-night snacks.

The bar was good. It had a nice selection of drinks.

I booked this hotel based on online reviews. I found the room really small and quite dark. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was also very small. The room looked out onto the back of buildings and the windows were quite dirty.
