8/10 Good

Place was older but seem clean
dennis, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This Hotel is perfectly suited to walk down to pier or to the boardwalk. It is situated just above the main strip that gets heavy traffic but you are away from it and there is a private drive and stairway to get down to Pacific and Beach streets
Steve, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

My stay was great!
Maria, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Falsely advertised. This place is not clean, there were little hairs in the bed & on the towels. Absolutely disgusting. Never staying in a Howard Johnson brand again after this.
Tara, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Beds are a little on the uncomfortable side but overall good location and nice stay.
Jacob, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice view of the beach
Luis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place for the price Amazing staff. Huge hot tub. If you want a balcony.... request the top floor, I don't really consider a patio a balcony... but it was still worth it!
RoiAne, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay, the room was comfortable and clean and the staff was so friendly!
Desirae, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Screen was broken on patio door could not leave door open
lena, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quiet, next to Boardwalk but away from the crowds. Ice machine was broken and only half of the hot tub worked.
Gina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Good stay. Gave us just what we needed
Tim, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The girl that initially checked us in was Kai ( I hope that’s right) and she was excellent. But the room was not as described at all. Then the manager did not come in to address the problem. The guy at the front desk was super high and avoided me. It was terrible.
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I will never do business with this shady company again.
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Decent Place to Stay

It was a decent hotel for a couple nights with the kids. The hot tub wasnt really hot, test it before you in. It was nice to have the breakfast every morning. Hotel staff was nice. Close enough to the boardwalk to walk.
Kelli, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We really enjoyed our stay here!
Tiffany, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location close to Boardwalk
Greg, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Had a good stay:) Some feedback: the door lets in some cold air at night, so had to sleep with heat on And could use a few more breakfast options*
IRENE, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was located very close to everything, I was able to walk with my kids to boardwalk and beach. It was the basic needs and a decent price. My son was cold and when I asked for an extra blanket, they said they didn’t have any extra blankets or pillows. I thought that was a little weird. The blankets were basically just sheets, so if you get cold easily bring an extra blanket other than that, everyone was very nice and liked we could walk to what we needed in about 10 minutes.
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super easy check in Hot tub area was clean Short walk to the beach and restaurants This our go to place when staying in this area
