3+ Star Hotel
The view was amazing, had some great views
The room was spacious, clean and had a cute balcony! It also had everything we needed - tv, coffee, etc.
Everything! The room was clean, a great size, unreal view I can go on! I?m from Cali and left for a number of reasons. One thing I can?t replace is the sound and smell of the ocean! Slept with the door slightly open and that wonderful sound of the waves.

The hotel was just a couple of blocks from the Boardwalk, which was our main destination for the weekend. We were able to walk to/from the boardwalk and not have to pay for parking. Plus, our room was clean and the staff was courteous and friendly.
Not bad. To be expected for the price. Just a hotel. Clean rooms and location is right near the boardwalk. Parking free in back
It was close to our venue
