    - Expensive for what it offered - Breakfast is really a bunch of muffins which are good but would have expected a bit more - Parking should have been included - No ocean views - A/C is not powerful enough - sweating even with mid 60s overnight with winter blankets given in summer.

    The Hotel is very clean and the staff helpful and pleasant. Rooms are big. Liked the simplicity in rooms. very nice beds. Access to beach and pool in another hotel.

    Our fireplace would not shut off! I know it’s partially me not remembering but the devices for controlling temperature is not straightforward and this is the second time i needed the front desk to make the change. Our milk for morning coffee was spoiled and the breakfast had so few offerings. I understand offseason is rough as you are not always full but it’s the little things that can leave an impression. I love the Bungalow and typically have NO issues. e

    I love the bungalow, this is my 5 th time staying there. Staff is always exceptional and the space is comfortable.

    The rooms maybe need drying racks, or laundry units even. Going to the beach and washing bathing suits and towels every day (we bring our own), is a hassle without those things. A vacuum would also be useful to have in the room to do quick cleanups since there is a kitchen and dining table (kids are messy). We brought a small handheld one and used it for under the table.

    Very good, spacious, minimalist rooms. Friendly staff. Great location.

    The couch(es) are highly uncomfortable. Also, I was disappointed by the new and excessive parking charge for the reservation which was fairly steep to begin with. Another thing: I paid for an "oceanview" room. The ocean was nowhere in view, except in my imagination. That is deceptive. I might add that the breakfast provisions were not up to smack either.

    I liked the cleanliness as well as the spaciousness of the room.

    I am familiar with the area so I did not have any issues with learning about places to eat, see, etc., but I feel that other guests who are new to the area may want more information at the check-in desk. I would suggest a written brochure and map of pier village and nearby areas. My room faced Ocean Blvd so I heard all the big trucks and loud cars blasting their music passing by. Walls seem a little thin. I read some reviews stating there was complimentary breakfast but I was never informed about it and the bar in the lobby was rarely open. The receptionist at the front desk is the same person that works the bar/Cafe. There was only one person working at a time, so I think 2 or more per shift would liven up the place a bit and be able to accommodate more requests from guests. This hotel is about 3 blocks (7-10 min walk) to the sister resort which has the beach chairs, pool, etc. I'm okay with this but may be a hassle for elderly people or a family carrying a lot of things.

    I stayed in the Hang Loose room. Comfortable clean spacious rooms and access to amenities at sister resort Wave Hotel is a major plus (beach, fitness center, and pool). Has wifi and a table in the room so I could work remotely. Kitchenette had coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge - perfect for leftovers! Fireplace made the atmosphere cozy. Housekeeping staff was very accommodating - there were some days I put my DND sign on the door but needed just the garbage thrown away. When i saw housekeeping staff in the hallway, they would check with me if i still needed anything for the room. Location of hotel is tucked in the corner around Pier Village and a block away from the public beach. The lobby is fun with cool artsy decor. I forgot her name, but one of the receptionists at night was so nice! I ordered food and it didn't arrive until about 9:30 PM and she offered to bring it up to my hotel room - I declined her kind offer as I could easily go down to pick it up myself.
