What guests think

Aztec Ocean Resort draws guests mainly for its unbeatable boardwalk location and family-friendly convenience, with many appreciating friendly staff, pool access, and balcony views, but feedback is split by inconsistent cleanliness and frequent noise from other guests.

Rooms are basic and often worn, with many reports of hard or lumpy mattresses and thin pillows; some bathrooms show recent updates and air conditioning is strong in several rooms. Facilities are simple: a large but unheated pool, limited or off-site parking, and an on-site bar/restaurant; beach badges are sometimes provided but not always for single-night stays. Expect a no-frills, lively stay focused on location over comfort.

Aztec is fine if you need a place to stay but could use updating. Beds were clean and comfortable. Air conditioners leaked water every so often. Maintenance came to fix but the next day it happened again. Pool area is great, though pool is not heated, we enjoyed poolside room. Shower fixtures are very nice and shampoo/conditioner is provided. Connected to a restaurant that opens to the boardwalk. Great location! Lots of potential!

No parking on premises you have to go walk two blocks. The pool was insanely dirty and I’m not even that picky. The bathroom was horrific and the roll of toilet paper wasn’t even new upon checkin. Great location but hotel isn’t that great.

This property was amazing for what I wanted, needed and price. We had a balcony over looking the pool that I could also see the Ferris wheel. Room was clean besides under the beds needs some tlc. Would have been nice for a coffee pot in room but everything is walking distance or a quick drive that it was ok. Too cold for the pool but the pool was clean. right on boardwalk so made it easy to come and go especially with a five year old. I would definitely stay here again

Check in pretty good, has free parking either under covered of the hotel (20 spots only), or across the street. Most convenient location on the boardwalk. Pool is nice except some people brought their own speaker and blast the entire pool area. Nobody to stop them, also people smoke cigar at the pool area, nobody stopped them either.

The location of the property was fantastic. My family loved how you literally stepped outside and there was the beautiful lights of the ferris wheel. The location was very convenient. On the surface, the rooms and property appeared clean and well kept, however, once you got a closer look realized that everything was quite dirty and unsanitary. The air condition unit in our room was absolutely filthy dirty with globs of hair, dirt, mold, and sand blocking the vents and filter. I personally wound up cleaning and sanitizing the unit myself because I did not want my family breathing in whatever air was being pushed out of the filth. Plus, it looked like the AC unit was never cleaned since installing it. The floor in our room was ok, that is the floor that was only out in the open and visible. My son's shoe went under the bed and when I went to get it, I was appalled...there were all kinds of old food from previous guests under there along with dirt, hair, and I'm not ever sure and don't think I want to know what else was under there.

But qe couldnt stay. So we lost 2 nights worth of money and had to find another hotel. We couldnt stay in that. Hair and dirt in the bathtub/shower, dirt on the bed sheets and bed skirt.

The location is fantastic and is truly the best part of staying in this hotel. It is right on the boardwalk, and is 2 minutes to the beach. The rooms are not large, but do-able. The pool is an excellent size. It was also nice having the restaurant right on site to be able to grab a cocktail so close by. My only complaint would be that cleanliness of the room was substandard.There was still a jar of peanut butter in the refrigerator from the former guests and a bottle of shampoo in a plastic bag in the bathroom on the tub from the previous guests as well. There was no door to the freezer portion of the refrigerator which is not good for trying to freeze ice packs for our cooler for the beach. The balcony was nice to have but needed vacuuming. For a quick two night stay, it waa fine but if I was going to stay longer, I might look elsewhere since the price you're paying definitely is higher based on the location.

The mattress extremely lumpy. The beds were completely made differently which made me think that they might have been slept in prior to my arrival and never had the sheets changed! Tub drain yukky and held water. AC unit fabulous and cold! Hallways horrible and needs to be remodeled. Terrible parking, had to walk a couple of blocks from parking lot. Elevator needs to be changed out. Buttons not working properly. Excellent location facing Casino Pier. Lobster Lounge restaurant..excellent! Fabulous ice machine in lobby. Would stay there again!!!

No one was at the front desk when we arrived, so check-in took longer than expected. Room was clean, but dated including the furniture. The bed was comfortable, a/c worked well. Bathroom fixtures appeared to have been updated recently but the towels weren't. I know, sounds weird, but I like a nice towel when I get out of the shower. Pool chairs were uncomfortable. I saw at least 3 different styles, one was cracked. I got our beach chairs and we used them at the pool. The pool was clean but areas around it needed attention. Signs were confusing, some handwritten on cardboard, gates bent or crooked. There was a drain clean out in the parking garage leaking, don't know what it was. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, but some attention to details would have made it better.

I loved this hotel because it was literally on the boardwalk so you would think it’s expensive but the total opposite it was super affordable nice big clean pool. The staff when we checked in were very nice and very informative, even gave us a book with activities and restaurants in the nearby area. The room was very clean, no odor, and stocked with towels ! The guest in the hotel were also respectful even with so many young teenagers staying as well. Even has an attached bar and lounge ! They even have their own private parking lot one block away. It was a great stay I have no complaints. I would definitely return.

Though the rooms appear to have been newly renovated, the work wasn’t great. There was clear water damage and poor repairs. Our toilet overflowed and we were just offered a plunger to fix ourselves. We then spent all our towels cleaning the water off the floors. When asked for additional bedding, staff appeared annoyed by giggling out of disbelief. The hotel restaurant food options were limited for kids and bread for sandwiches were not fresh. Our family who were also guest, weren’t offered beach badges as we were and weren’t offered parking (probably due to limited availability but they were elderly and treated differently than we were). The best part of the hotel is the location, as we were able to utilize hotel parking the entire stay access the boardwalk right off the hotel.

The Aztec used to be a hot spot to stay at while at seaside. That ended about 10 years ago. The property is run down , they still ask for a 200.00 deposit and the air tin the restaurant and the rooms need updating . Lastly the shower which looked fancy didn’t work. When I checked out at 10am which is a hr earlier than almost all the other places in town. She didn’t even apologize or offer another room for a hr to shower only said ok then walked away.
