Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a prime location, so close to the boardwalk and just a block away from the beach. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the service was excellent. The facilities were well-kept, offering a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is conveniently located right across the street from the boardwalk, making it very easy to access all the fun activities. The service is top-notch with excellent housekeeping, although a bit pricy. Dining options are included, offering traditional meals, which is a nice touch. Overall, a great value for a beachfront stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, enjoying the excellent location next to the beach and within walking distance to various restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the limited breakfast options, but overall, a great experience.
The hotel is situated on a very steep hill, making it a bit challenging for trucks to navigate but it's very close to the boardwalk, just a block away. The rooms come with a refrigerator and microwave, offering good value for money. The Korean dining experience was included and served on site, which was a nice touch.
