Such a clean and authentic hotel. I love the sailor feel it gave off. Only thing is that the tv had one channel loll and there wasn’t any 3rd party tv apps so we were pretty bored in the room.

If you want to be on the boardwalk, this is the place. We found it too loud. The train was definitely in the room with us. The room was comfortable other than that.
