Flagship Oceanfront Hotel

We just left there today ! We have stayed here in the past and it wasn’t great but not totally bad either . This time was awful . I had 4 of my Grandkids along . They like the indoor pool . We had a I refundable room so I had to suck it up . As soon as we arrived the first thing right out of the car , my Granddon stepped on a Fentanyl testing kit . The whole parking lot smelled liked weed as well as inside the hotel . Our room was gross . In the kitchenette was grease splashed on the wall and bottom right of toilet looked very first . Nothing smelled cleaned . I was so disappointed. I used to love staying there . The only perks was the indoor pool and it being right in the boardwalk . I used to clean houses and this place was filthy . I did check under the bed for bugs but thankfully there was none . Never again . I’d rather walk a couple blocks and stay in a cleaner safe place !

I’ve stayed at this place about three times in the past couple of years and loved it every time. You get exactly what you pay for- Nothing more, nothing less. If you’re expecting a high-class hotel, stay away.

The place is definitely outdated and a little dingy. The halls reek of chlorine and moisture, but that’s to be expected with a carpeted, family-oriented hotel that’s so close to the ocean and has on-site pools. Despite the way it smells, it isn’t filthy. I’ve wandered the place barefoot and never got dirty feet.

The hotel rooms themselves are just alright, they’re serviceable. The beds are somewhat comfortable, the AC can easily make the room freezing, TV and internet work well for the most part. The furniture can feel pretty gross, though. It’s got that sticky, well-used feel. Microwaves and mini fridges also seem a bit unappealing, but were never completely disgusting or unusable. Never saw or experienced any pests during any of my stays, besides maybe a cockroach in the courtyard. It’s not the hotel’s fault people bring their own infestations to the place.

The best part about The Flagship Hotel is definitely all the different amenities they have. Not only is there an outdoor and indoor pool, but there’s also a mini hot tub, arcade room, courtyard, and a cute little ice cream shop at the front desk too. The $1 canned soda and snack vending machines are also great. The fact that it’s located directly at the boardwalk and beach is what really sells the place, though.

Staff are super friendly and are generally quite helpful. We ran into a problem with a leaking roof during one of our stays (due to some heavy rain) and we were able to be moved into another vacant room without any hassle. The maintenance man arrived quickly when we reported our issue to the front desk and we were moved out of the room within the hour.

Overall, The Flagship Hotel is an alright place. It’s not amazing, but it isn’t terrible either.

Decent hotel. Like maybe 10 feet from the sand. But definitely needs some fixing up. Take a scented candle or an air freshener. Our room, my sister's room, and the room next to us smelled really bad. Tried to fix coffee one morning and there was still grounds in the pot from the last people. One of our beds was decent, the other I dont think had a bottom in it. The lady that checked us in mumbled the whole time and 3 of us had no idea what she was saying. The rest of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Eddie deserves a raise!! Definitely take the good with the bad here. The a/c worked amazingly well.
