Although, hotel is near by board walk butbhotel is made so cheap there's no sound proof upbor side even room door wasn't parking is limited so when u park sometime you have to block other cars so every time you park the car you have to leave the car key at the front desk Other than that it was okay to stay. Remember i said earlier hotel was made cheap meaning bed pillows blankets and everything was cheap materials

No one at the front desk when we arrived to check in. Had to call the hotel on the phone to get someone to the desk. Room had a pile of dirt that housekeeping must have forgotten to pick up. Room had a strong sickening smell of maple syrup that I finally concluded was probably a coolant leak from the A/C and it's burning my throat. Kids have been running up and down the hallway and screaming until 1:00 a.m.
