I had a nice stay at this hotel, which is located exactly on the boardwalk and very close to the beach. The room I had was spacious and really clean. However, I did encounter some issues with the service at the front desk, which was quite disappointing. On the bright side, the location can't be beaten, making it easy to access all the nearby attractions, especially the Hard Rock without spending too much.

I had a wonderful stay overall, enjoying the beautiful view of the pier and ocean from my room. The hotel was spotless and the bed was comfortable, making for an enjoyable experience.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and I found the location to be quite convenient, nestled between the Hard Rock and Ocean casinos, which made for easy access to entertainment. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired; they had a stale smoke smell and overall cleanliness was lacking. The service was impressive, especially when addressing my noise concerns. Although the dining options were handy, the ordering could be quite confusing. Overall, I wouldn't say it was worth the price considering the condition of the rooms.
