Top Central Hotel Reviews

The Linda Grande Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived, the staff at Linda Grande were extremely welcoming. They also went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. We spent two nights there with my eldest daughter (9) and the hotel made the experience very special for us. This hotel has my full recommendation!"

Harris House By the Beach

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly. Very close proximity to boardwalk and restaurants. Ample parking. Biggest drawback was no elevator which made it difficult to get luggage up the steps to room, but someone from the staff did help. Room was kind of old and a little outdated but still maintained and clean. I guess I'm spoiled but sure would have been nice to have a coffee pot in the room. We would stay there again but it would have to be on the first floor due to medical reasons."

The Cove

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at The Cove during the Labor’s day weekend, the place is clean, everything looks new, the bedrooms are well equipped. The bathroom was A1, spacious, nice, clean. The bedroom has a very nice tv, with some free movies to get relax after spending some time in the beach. The location is strategic, the boardwalk is very close, there are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes around, and also there is an Avenue (I forgot the name) with very nice stores to shop around. The market is also nearby. Before I forget, the receptionist, was very welcoming, nice and always listening nice beach music with really makes you feel you are in the beach to just relax! I highly recommend this place, and hope to come back soon."
