Loved the room. The beds were so comfy. It’s just a short walk to the boardwalk and local coffee shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and the breakfasts were very good. The kids loved the waffles and bacon. There was a pool but quite small and only to 3-4 feet deep but was good enough for the kids. We had a great time.

Pool but no hot tub, “new” hotel but very little decor or personality— staff was nice for the most part and toiletries were good. Bright white lightbulbs in all the light fixtures though made for a harsh ambiance in the evening. Fairly expensive for a holiday inn like level.

This is a nice hotel close to the wharf and the boardwalk. It's nothing special but it is clean and they do have free breakfast. It ends at 9:00 which is a little early, 10:00 would be better. There is a $25 a night parking fee which I was not aware of. Parking is tight with a lot of compact spaces. Bed's are comfortable. Overall, a good stay.
