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

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.
