The hotel is very old and smells terrible, but it does have a new bathroom. It was ok for the two days I was there. The location is practical, close to the boardwalk and public transport, making it suitable for a short stay after enjoying the area. However, the rude service was a major downside, except for the housekeeping staff who provided an extra blanket when requested.
Rooms
5.0
The room had stained lamp shades, a dresser with missing knobs, and a hole in the wall near the beds on the floor that rodents could enter. It looked old, but the bathroom was new.
Service
5.0
The staff, apart from housekeeping, was very rude, especially in addressing noise issues. Zero attempts were made to quiet the loud guests playing music all night long.
Location
8.0
The hotel is conveniently situated near the boardwalk, resorts, and public transport. It's suitable for a short stay if you just need a place to sleep after enjoying the area.
Dining
5.0
I paid extra for what was supposed to be coffee, bread, and juice, but it turned out to be a lie. The only available dining options were in the room or lobby, not as advertised.
