My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were in good condition, away from the noise, and offered nice amenities like a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and a comfortable bed. The service was quick, efficient, and helpful, but there were some issues with the parking situation. The location was superb, just a short walk from the boardwalk, perfect for families looking to enjoy the area. The dining experience was impressive, with a variety of options and early availability. Overall, a decent value for the money with some minor downsides.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, although a little dark due to the privacy measures in place. The service was stellar, with the staff being incredibly polite and accommodating. The location was perfect, just a short drive from the beach and boardwalk, making it a great option for families. The dining experience, while okay, could be improved for a better overall stay.

I had a pleasant stay at Ocean Pacific. The rooms were newly remodeled and clean, with new pillows and beds, making it a comfortable stop on our 4-week road trip. The location was convenient, just a short drive away from the beach. However, the service, though polite, was not overly friendly. The hotel's proximity to the Boardwalk was unbeatable, but it was a bit far from downtown restaurants.
