The room was clean and the breakfast options were good. I was not aware there would be a twenty dollar valet parking fee, which was not ideal since we only stayed one night and arrived around ten pm. The front desk staff was not very friendly and did not seem happy or particularly helpful.

Good find for our family if 6 adults. Spacious rooms. Suggestions are to provide body lotion in the room. Also, for our room the TV is a bit small based on distance from bed to TV. Might be that room was a little bigger than other rooms. Enjoyed hot tub being open until 10 pm. We were able to walk to boardwalk and pier which was appreciated. Not a big fan of extra fees like paying to park but the valet staff was friendly.
