My family and I have been staying here for almost 20 yrs. It is located right on the beach and is a great place to stay. It is very well maintained and all of the staff are friendly and helpfull. It has a resturant/coffee shop downstairs and a very nice size Heated pool. It is located only six blocks from the start of the boardwalk. If your looking for a relaxing place to stay but only a short walk to the boardwalk, this is the place for you..

Always had a great time at the crusader until this year 2012 in aug.I should of known I was going to have a bad time as soon as I showed up the elevators where down I had to carry my stuff to the room. As I'm walking to the room I noticed that the room they where giving me was not the one I reserved.they told me that I would get ocean front and pool view with private balcony.guess what they stuck me in 115. I argued with them telling them that they made a mistake.Allan the manager asked me if I can put you up on a higher floor would that be better I said I would just want my room but for the time being sure he said go see the room and let me know if you like it I told the woman that ok ill move for now as soon as I said that Allan walks up and says imsorry can't give you that room.Really ,,, I asked allan that I would like to speak with the person in which I made the reservation. He said as soon as he comes in he would tell him.They never contacted me they never apologized when I left I felt used and treated unfairly .one month has gone by and I'm writing this review you know I'm pissed, and still no phone call. Oh by the way tell your lifeguard stop texting while he's watching the kids in the pool. Never again thanks Allan keep up the good work.

I am an avid beach goer, and after having gone through the horrible experience at the El Coronado in July, I was very pleasantly surprised at the Crusader. The staff at check-in was delightful, the room was immaculate (and nicely air conditioned!), the beds were extremely comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-day stay and will definitely return. Only one mishap and that was the elevator broke the night before we were checking out, but the front desk had two of their maintenance people show up at our third floor room to carry our luggage downstairs for us. Outstanding customer service.

Great family vacation at The Crusader! It was very clean and the staff is so friendly. The room was a great size and it is a great location! If I had any negative it is that there is not enough lounge chairs around the pool and people put their towels on the chairs to save the few there are and then never come to the pool! But overall we had a wonderful time and will return for sure!!!!
