“From what I gather, this spot prioritizes location above all else, offering immediate access to the boardwalk and nearby dining. I noted reports of outdated rooms and potential cleanliness issues, suggesting it might suit those who value convenience over modern comfort. Ultimately, manage your expectations and understand that its prime location comes with certain trade-offs.”
