Rooms could be cleaner but the location is great and wonderful for kids. All that makes up for the old rooms
We could definitely see the beach from our balcony.the maid service was excellent!!! The front desk staff was extremely nice and very informative, from where to grocery shop to good location for particular food.
Great beach front boardwalk location. Older hotel at half the price of the shiny new ones. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean enough, plenty of towels, good off street parking & no complaints from us. We had a very nice week stay. I hear that Marriott is buying this OC landmark Flagship Hotel & plan to rebuild at the end of summer 2026.
Good hotel, great pool, they could use more tables with umbrellas by the pool,

The imperfect, perfect family stay
Fantastic employees!! Wonderful experience customer service wise. We came for my kids first beach trip. She LOVED it! From the questionable elevator, to the adorable play pirate ship, to the questionable indoor pool and hot tub! Definitely not new nor renovated, but overall a great experience!! Would book again.
Perfect location! Close to Dunkin, the boardwalk and everything you need. Pool and hot tub, pool was closed on our last night. Hotel needs major cleaning and upgrades. Stayed for 4 nights Aug25. Won’t stay here again.
The courtyard looks nothing like in the picture. The room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly. We were on the 1st floor so the room above us could be heard when people were walking around which was pretty late at night, other than that everything else was great. I enjoyed the fact that it was steps away from the ocean and we even enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub.

Staff were really nice. The hotel is a little dated, but very convenient location for what we wanted to do. The pool is really nice with a bar attached to it. The indoor poor are also a nice to have. I would come back.

The staff were extremely nice. It’s clearly and outdated facility and needs remodeling but it was clean and staff were really friendly. Location was great.
It was pretty expensive due to the event that was going on, but it looked like the hotel hadn't been updated in a while. The tvs were tiny, the elevator was shaky, paint was chipped, and everything kind of just looked dingy. All of the people that worked there were really nice, though.
Friendly and very helpful staff. Property is completely run down horrible carpet stains everywhere. Air conditioner hanging on by the last thread not cooling comfortably. Room was stale smelling due to temperature fluctuating between hot and cool.

The Flagship has been our go to since we have been going to there. We love the pool and the area of the boardwalk.
My only complaint was handicap parking. Not much is available and parking was hard at times. But everything worked out. I wish the tram was up and running again, also more handicap beach access to get a person down to the ocean.
The rooms were ok. The building is old; pool and hot tub murky. Staff not too professional - nonchalant. Restaurant staff unprofessional and belligerent.
Great: Close to beach and shops.
