This property was not what I expected but turned out to be great fun. It is a boardwalk like a mini Atlantic City. A few rides, both kid friendly and adult. Four great restaurants and even a Starbucks. The hotel was lovely. Our room had a small balcony that overlooked a gathering area and bandstand where different bands played throughout the day. There were shops along here also. Great place for a date night or to bring the family for a vacation.

The hotel was too expensive not to have a complementary breakfast. The doors to the balcony of our room was broken could barely open or shut. The shower head, and the bathtub were very old in the bathroom. The showerhead would not work would have been better off going to a Holiday Inn.
