Proximity to the Boardwalk is a plus! Love that it is only at least 5 min walk. We also lived that there was a pool. The only downside was when we were checking in, we waited for 30 more mins after 4pm because we were told that the rooms were not ready. Though there we were a lot of us who waited that was the first time ever I have to wait for a hotel check in thats why it was kinda disappointing.

They greeted us with a Birthday card abd goodie bag for my son which he really enjoyed! Our room was clean and nice. We had a great time and the boardwalk is only 3 min away walking. On our check out day on Sunday we were able to leave our car parked while we enjoyed a walk to the warf. Overall great place to stay!

Very friendly and efficient check in. A little confusing about parking at first and it is very expensive, valet only ($30/day). The room was nice and clean. TV hung crooked on the wall, though.
