Pool but no hot tub, “new” hotel but very little decor or personality— staff was nice for the most part and toiletries were good. Bright white lightbulbs in all the light fixtures though made for a harsh ambiance in the evening. Fairly expensive for a holiday inn like level.

This is a nice hotel close to the wharf and the boardwalk. It's nothing special but it is clean and they do have free breakfast. It ends at 9:00 which is a little early, 10:00 would be better. There is a $25 a night parking fee which I was not aware of. Parking is tight with a lot of compact spaces. Bed's are comfortable. Overall, a good stay.

Elevator out of service and we were staying on the 3rd floor- made it challenging/ not safe to carry my luggage up and down the stairs. Also our room was right next to stairwell, since elevators were not working, people were using the stairs all the time, with the stairwell door closing frequently, shook our room making it challenging to sleep.
