Commander Hotel & Suites

Great Stay at a Prime Location!

The hotel is in a perfect location, right on the boardwalk—ideal for easy beach access and enjoying the local scene. Parking is available for a daily fee of $23. The property consists of three separate buildings: the Main Building, the Cabana Building, and the Beach House (note: the Beach House is located across the street).

I stayed in the Cabana Building and had a partial ocean view. The room included a fully functional kitchen equipped with pots, pans, utensils, dishes, cups, a toaster, microwave, two-burner electric stovetop, and a full-size refrigerator. This setup makes it a great choice for couples or families with kids.

The room was clean and comfortable. While I did notice a minor issue with the bathroom ceiling—likely due to water overflow from the unit above—it seemed like an isolated incident and did not affect my overall stay.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM, but I appreciated the courtesy late checkout at 12:00 PM. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.

PLEASE, don't make the same mistake we did. If you are considering this hotel for your family vacation, let me summarize it in one word, DON'T. We booked our hotel through the hopper app, which advertised the room we were booking as a two queen standard room with balcony. Upon check-in we were first caught by surprise with an additional parking fee. But this was only the beginning of our disappointment. When given our room assignment we were shocked to discover that our room was in a separate property of theirs, and it was no more than a glorified walk in closet with two very small twin beds, ants and NO BATHROOM! When I contacted the front desk I was informed that our bathroom was located outside of my room across the hall. I quickly contacted the front desk and was basically told the best they could do was give me another room in the same building with no view, no queen beds as I had booked. The only advantage was that my bathroom would be located inside my room. I wish I would have seen the issues others had encountered booking through the Hopper app, as I would have avoided this ruined vacation. No one at the hotel or even from the Hopper app, were able to fix this awful experience. We spent one night and decided that was all we could take. Checked out three days early with no refund because the hotel was that bad.

Stayed in a Beach House room. Our room had a private bathroom (some rooms have a shared batch). Room was a very small, and no balcony, only a window. BUT rooms and buildings were very well kept, very clean and modern updates. Small fridge and microwave included. For the price it was a great value. I'd recommend it for 2 people for a short stay.
