The Beach Cottages

8/10 Good
"the room was a bit dated and worn, but clean and in overall good condition, the bed was comfortable and the kitchenette was really helpful. My room was near the restaurant on the corner, so the nights were quite loud, between just general music and voices, there was also some drunken yelling after closing. Nothing the hotel can do about that, but its notable if thats something that will disturb your stay- ask for a room in a different part of the facility. The lack of AC (which was clearly identified) was difficult on a very hot weekend, so I thank the staff for adding an extra fan in the room to make it bearable."

"Helpful staff, clean room (housekeeping comes super late - came by at 4 pm when we’re were coming back to change so don’t expect a turnover), good location. Lots of boardwalk noise (there was a band playing loudly one evening and super loud marathon stop at 7am the next day). Would stay again if no events happening right outside the room"

"The room is right on the beach which was a huge plus point. To check in one has to go to the other property which is not too far though but should be clearly mentioned ! There is no staff o site for any help ,and no one to even call for towels etc- I had to walk to the other property to physically get fresh towels . Prefer the sea facing rooms which I think are only 3 . The gallery lights were on the whole night so there is a lit of light ent wing the room and I could t find a way to switch those off . Do nit expect luxury - it is a basic room"
