The staff were lovely, the place was well maintained and clean, it was much more spacious then we thought! Great for the price, I definitely recommend!
-
The hotel needs a remodel. Very old and dingy. Your near the beach which is why I think hotels in general can get away with it. It looks pretty bad on the outside and inside. It functions okay though. The bed was comfortable, shower water pressure was good.
-
Clean, quiet and within walking distance to the boardwalk. We would stay there again.
-
really close to the boardwalk. hotel was very nice. also had a little kitchen area in another room which we didn't know about till i asked the front desk. would stay there again.

Location was the only plus $350 for one night for a half completed renovation was very disappointing

Good for a night close to boardwalk

Exceptional

Parking seems adequate. A quick walk to the pier and downtown to the restaurants, record stores and bars.
-
Somewhat worn down, soaps and other bath products did not come in the room and we had to request. Ice machine did not work. Otherwise, worked well for a fast one night stop.

My stay was a 2 star rating. This place is ok to stay if you want a very chill stay to yourself. The location also is very close to the boardwalk which was nice. But the rooms themselves are run down. They have SOME new things bt still very run down. Weird smells. Taped up windows. Broken pieces on the wall and dirt. Towels r thin. We had to make due bc it was a weekend and already paid. If your picky on things like this. Dont stay. Also parking is tight bt I always had a spot.

Price was good. Room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The a/c didn't work. Nor did the TV. Nor did the lights by the bed. The street noise was very loud. The bedding was poor quality.

The aria staff The ac wasn’t the best didn’t really cool the room
-
Staff was good for the check-in but after that there was nobody around in the office. Parking space was quite full. The bedding was old and dusty. Bathroom and shower were good and there was a small kitchen separate from the sleeping area.

At approximately 1:30am we were rudely awakened by the sound of the door opening and then a group of people entered our room who then apologized and said they were given the same room number with matching faub key. I then received a phone call from somebody at the front desk who was extremely apologetic about the incident. I can understand honest mistakes but this was an unforgivable mistake as we had a hard time returning to sleep, especially my wife, who basically spent the entire rest of the night awake.
