Breakfast was as expected the first day. Our second day they did not serve breakfast at the stated time, we were leaving in the morning and missed breakfast due to it not opening at least 20 minutes (maybe more) late. In room coffee was not replenished for our second day, so we did not have access to coffee either. Location near boardwalk and downtown was great.

Super friendly staff and very close to the boardwalk. The walls are very thin though so you can hear your neighbors conversations clearly.
