Definitely a great spot to hang for the night to enjoy dinner and some beverages without having to drive. The young gentleman at the front desk was so helpful and had such a great energy. Parking in the deck is free just be sure to get ur receipt validated at the front desk. Was quite disappointed the hot tub wasn’t working properly-n just some caution to some who may not appreciate it-they have live music on the weekends-it was quite loud and went on till about 10 on a Sunday night-we had no where to be so we sat on the balcony enjoying it along w all the happy ppl dancing below. The hotel was very clean and decorated very nice. Room was spacious, clean w a matress that was a

This place was awesome!! Right on the boardwalk so everything is in walking distances. Loved the free parking, and all the shopping and within the hotel itself. Loved the live music while sitting in my balcony, but was always quiet by 10pm which was perfect!

Excellent Hotel, looking forward to future visits

The hotel was clean and right on the boardwalk. Our room had a balcony and we could listen to live music all day Sat. The room itself was well maintained, bed was comfortable. It took a minute to get the AC right, but it was still very comfortable. There were several shops/restaurants within walking distance.
