WARNING for families…when you book and pay for a room at this hotel, a parking space is not included. We were put on a waitlist for parking despite booking 4 months in advance, and were told when a spot did become available we would also have to pay for that convenience. So, carve out another $150 for parking at 23rd and the beach because of this. I was confused about this money grab, because this is not a new construction. I stayed here in the 80s when it was the Kings Inn. I ended up having to park by the bay and check in took over 2 hours, after driving 2 hours with our three kids. I thought booking on the boardwalk would make our lives easier and it was a nightmare on Memorial Day weekend.
WARNING for families…also at check in, we were told that a security deposit was going to be put on our card as a hold for a few hundred. Had this happen to me in Vegas, NYC, etc. Never in WW as an old hag married couple. Second sticker shock at this place.
Despite the name, there are no chairs outside the rooms so that one could sit and view the ocean.
I gave one star because:
I was given an extra hour at check out because I had to walk a mile to get my car.
Rooms were updated by WW standards, no dressers though.
Dog friendly and not just for chihuahuas and those toy doodles. We were neighbors with a standard Poodle and a St. Bernard, which was awesome.
