It was a decent hotel for a couple nights with the kids. The hot tub wasnt really hot, test it before you in. It was nice to have the breakfast every morning. Hotel staff was nice. Close enough to the boardwalk to walk.
2-night trip

2/10

A lot of noise from the street and we were in one of the rooms off the hallway leading to the hot tub. People were talking loudly and singing in the hot tub after 11PM and it sounded like they were just outside the door. The phone had no dial tone to call the office and complain, and the TV had no antenna signal. The bathroom walls and tub had been poorly patched. There was hair on one of the towels.

10/10

We stay here when we do college visits for our many teens. We have a big family so the option of 3 beds is right up our alley. We also love having a patio and free breakfast. Our room was clean and a few updates were done over the past year. Staff is super friendly. The biggest issue was the ice machine was empty on the day we left and a spider found it's way into our room but that can't be avoided.
