Alot of reviewers said they had a bad experience with hotel. We had an oceanfront room in the hotel part. We were on the 4th floor. The AC was kinda funky, and we did need to call for a fan. The AC didn't go below 65°. The indoor pool looked nice, we didn't have time to go. There was a convention going on while we were there, so, they were sold out. The Carousel is an older property, but, its very nice in my honest opinion. The beds were okay. I have a bad left hip, but I was able to get sleep. It's about a 15 minute ride to the Inlet and the main boardwalk area. All said and done, I'd probably stay there again. Just not during Bike Week!
