CHRISTOPHER M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
This is a hotel. À la Quinta hotel. The pool was not heated and ridiculously small. The beds are old, unevenly worn and uncomfortable in my families opinion. You pay 25 a night for parking. It is in the listing but it’s hidden deep within the specifics and not on the main page like every other listing. It’s my fault but the way they list this and the wording I didn’t realize I was getting à la Quinta hotel. The staff was fine but some were rude, not to me directly but to other guests.The water was low pressure and the switch was broken. The toilet clogged twice which is whatever but clearly there is an issue. It is well situated to the beach and boardwalk. The breakfast offered was good and had lots of options. They have a washer/dryer that you pay for that came in clutch. Overall, it was fine. For 225 a night and paying for parking I would expect better but maybe in that area this is “cheap”.
