Lower your expectations

Falsely advertised as a three-star hotel. Despite its location on a beautiful stretch of beach, the hard-working staff can only do so much to compensate for this dilapidated, unsanitary throwback to the 1980s.
Safety: Check out the PVC pipe rails on one of the hotel Tower balconies.
Aesthetics: Enjoy the "electric" aquamarine/teal combo on your carpet/drapes, circa 1989...
Sanitation: Hopefully your bed will be made without stains, or your bathroom walls littered with bits of tissue.
Quality: Notice the floorboard/trim peeling off the walls in the rooms of Wyndham's "smoking" tower. As you approach the elevators, your attention is drawn to scuffed floors and dented walls. Are you in the service entrance to the kitchen, or the elevator to your $*/night room? You be the judge.
A Wyndham...for real?

This place used to be a Ramada and now it is a Wyndham. The bartender said that the changeover was limited to the purchase of a new sign. The property is old, dirty, and badly in need of a full renovation. There was sand in our bathtub, food on the floor in our room, holes in the towels, and turning on/off the television required that you reach behind the cabinet to access the electrical outlet - but the tv was lightyears ahead of the air conditioner which was horrendously loud and didn't blow cold air. The staff clearly complete the same rigorous training program in how to NOT be helpful - they were universally disinterested in doing anything to make your stay enjoyable, much less bearable.
There was a major highpoint however: the restaurant. How this magficient jewel is housed within such a dive of a hotel is beyond me - but clearly the locals were in the know. I would return to eat at the restaurant - but I would then drive down the road a bit and spend the night somewhere else!
Great place to stay with a family

We liked the stay, fantastic location. Dont need to carry beach umberallas, hire for 20 bucks for the whole day. This hotel is like a 5 minute drive from the boadwalk. Lots of activities for the kids.
very nice

Nice hotel for a romantic getaway, took my wife for her birthday/valentines day and had a great time. Service was good, t.v didnt work, called front desk and staff was at room in about 5 minutes and fixed it. Indoor pool and hot tub was nice,fitness center was good too.. Great price for stay in Feb. Hotel was secluded away from boardwalk,about a mile, and was nice for a little privacy. Only complaint is that the restaraunt is WAY to pricey, and food not worth that price.
Very Nice Hotel But

We had a room on the 7th floor and during the night it became windy and you could hear the wind howling as if people were blowing through tubes. The level of wind noise was enough that it was difficult to sleep. We didn't ask for another room because we had already changed rooms because they tried to put us into a smoking room (yuk). The hotel is several miles from the boardwalk and restaurant area which since this was during the off season wasn't a problem, but it would be during the tourist season because you would have to rely on public transportation or hope that you could find a place to park legally.
Another issue was that security was non-existent, anyone could enter the hotel from the parking garage or east tower doors without being observed. The hotel also automatically charges a room safe fee whether or not you use the safe.
