The room and lobby were kept very Clean. The pool was small. The parking lot under the hotel looked like it had a little structural damage. Great restaurants and shopping close by. Beach was about a block and a half away. Great staff.

Hotel with a great location
Our family had a two night stay and upon arriving, the people at the front desk were friendly and surprised us by handing us beach tags for the seven of us. The hotel is perfectly located next to Jilly's arcade on the boardwalk and beach entrance is right there! We never used the car the entire time. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. We did not realize the pool closed at 9pm so our teens only swam 5 minutes before being told the pool was closed after doing the boardwalk thing all day. Nice heated pool though! We will be back again!
