Very comfortable and easy access to pier and boardwalk.

8.0

When I registered the lady was very nice. She accommodated me with what I asked for.

Breakfast wasn’t what I expected.

I would stay there again!

9.0

I loved that it was close enough to the boardwalk to walk there.

The spa area could use some updating-maybe get chairs high enough to reach the tables.

Gorgeous coastal views at cozy spot

8.0

Beautiful views of the beach & neighborhood! Cozy and a lovely little back porch. I picked this room specifically and it was lovely.

It was close to the road so it could be noisy but it worked for us!

7.0

The location was great it was a 6 minute walk to the board walk and beach. The room was clean a little small but I wasn't in it much on account of the beach being so close.

Overall my family and I had a great experience at the HoJo, the room was clean the spa was nice. The location was excellent. How ever when we went to eat breakfast the bread box had gnats that flew out. Other than that the experience was amazing.
