I was a little scared at first to stay at this particular hotel after reading all of the other reviews, but I must say that I was highly impressed by the way the hotel was when I arrived. I booked a premium oceanfront room with two double beds, this is in the better part of the hotel. The room was very spacious, and had plenty of room to place all of my clothing and my family's. The bathroom was a nice size also, not like some of the hotel bathrooms where you can barely turn around in them. The service was also fantastic, the housekeeper we had was great, she even tucked in the stuffed animals that my children had brought. We had a little problem with the sliding glass door, but it was fixed immediately. The beds were very comfortable, the pillows were heavenly, we loved the pillows so much that we purchased some of those at the front desk before we checked out. The front desk personnel was very helpful and polite. The pools were clean. We stayed in room 410 and it was perfect because it was located right off of the elevator and in the corner of the hall. We had plenty of towels and complimentary toiletries. Fresh complimentary coffee, tea and fresh fruit every day in the hotel lobby. The fresh fruit was at the hotel lobby desk. The beach was clean as always. This hotel located at 1601 Atlantic Avenue was centrally located to everything.
I would definately recommend this hotel if you had a bad experience with other hotels on the boardwalk. But keep in mind this is not going to be like the Hilton, but then again I have never stayed at the Hilton, I prefer the middle priced hotels.
