Tried to check in early and they wouldn’t allow us. Why? The customer service from the guy at the desk had no personality or even tell us about amenities. Look like they were updating the hotel. Would loved to have known they had a Starbucks available.

Basically ok except for the toilet. Completely filthy behind the toilet and wall. Very disgusting. The Starbucks is never open. I’ve been 4 times and always closed. Coffee is about a five minute walk. Keep young kids close to you!

It was my first time staying with Marriott and I was not disappointed. It was clean, staff were friendly and it was quiet. I highly recommend staying here, it was close to the boardwalk and I paid for valet parking but I didn’t use my car during my stay because everything was within a walking distance. Will definitely stay here again.
