Disliked: Amenities
It was okay. Perfect to be close to beach and boardwalk. Very standard room. Good enough to sleep and shower
The room was neat and clean. We had 1 issue where sink was clogged, notified front desk on our way to breakfast and by the time we returned it was fixed. Will definitely stay here again
