Staying at the Commander Hotel was such a delightful experience! The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming, which really made us feel at home. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, but there were some minor issues with the balcony rails and a few bathroom details that could use improvement. Even with a couple of hiccups, it was a good value overall, especially being so close to the beach and boardwalk.
