“This beachfront hotel is a solid choice, particularly for families wanting direct access to the boardwalk and local dining. I especially like the proactive customer service, as well as the in-house restaurant, which means you don't have to leave the property for meals. With an indoor pool and meeting spaces, it legitimately serves both leisure and business travelers.”

I had a nice stay overall, with a fantastic location right on the boardwalk and close to the beach. My room was clean upon arrival, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the dining experience at the hotel was quite disappointing, especially with the food quality at the restaurant. The parking situation was also a bit tight, which can be a hassle for those with bigger vehicles.
