Pros: private balcony, refrig, microwave, toiletries, comfy/clean towels/sheets/beds, coffee in lobby, oceanfront, on boardwalk.
Average: room size/set-up. Nothing extra. Glass and screen doors are reversed, making it a bit awkward, but not a big deal. The woman who checked us in was very slow and quiet. She wasn't rude, but she wasn't friendly. She also checked us out. She said hotels.com charges us for parking in the fine print and we should check our bill, but she would refund it for us. Her statement is untrue. Our booking clearly said "free parking", and when I told her we always check for free parking and have never been charged a penny over the agreed upon rate, she smiled as if to indicate we were conned. As an extremely well educated person who verifies every penny in my finances, I did not appreciate that.
Cons: The Dough Roller and the building to the right block long beach views because Park Place is set in a bit. You still have your oceanfront view, but you can't see the longer views that you can in other hotels that are not set in from adjacent buildings. Hotel is supposed to be smoke-free, even balconies, yet it reeked of pot 24 x 7. That was rather disgusting. No table on balcony. Not enough outlets. Outlets near bed are very soft, as if pushing in a cord will push it through the wall. Only 5 hangers. Need more.
