Excellent Hotel, looking forward to future visits

The hotel was clean and right on the boardwalk. Our room had a balcony and we could listen to live music all day Sat. The room itself was well maintained, bed was comfortable. It took a minute to get the AC right, but it was still very comfortable. There were several shops/restaurants within walking distance.
