Loved having a balcony upgrade, super kind of the gentleman at the front desk. We also were able to check in a bit early (1hr specifically). And there is so much to walk to, food, park, cvs, and the boardwalk if your'e a healthy walker.

The mattresses were on top of metal bases that went all the way to the floor and if you accidentally kicked them they sounded like dumpsters being emptied by garbage trucks or thunder. The noise from outside (people parking, going by, etc.) and upstairs was so loud we had to complain. Zero soundproofing. Any painted surface like bathroom door or doors between adjacent rooms were sticky. Don’t know how safe the neighborhood is but the parking lot is next to a marijuana dispensary. The staff certainly tried to be accommodating. Very close to a conveniences.
