We had 2 Queens with a balcony. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had nice toiletries. The staff was wonderful. We got a great recommendation for dinner.

"I thought the breakfast was a great option. I thought the amenities were lacking though. No disposable shower caps or hand lotions. No free parking $19/day for valet parking. But the hotel was in a good walking distance to downtown and the boardwalk, if you like walking. Not many restaurants close by though. The special noodle house was good but expensive for what you got. "

"Booked this property last min for a weekend getaway a week prior to arrival. Surprised by the 3 bed option in a 2 bedroom setup right across the way from the boardwalk! There are 2 queens with one full in spare bedroom that is like a cubic space with a window & mirror. Had a couple moveable end tables which was nice. The room itself was a good size & we didn’t feel on top of each other as much. Bathroom was clean but prepare to bring toiletries as they only offer a built foam hand wash & body...
