The hotel is more like a motel, but the rooms were clean, spacious, and the staff were great. It's located in a great location, a very short walk to the boardwalk, the amusement park, and a hosts of shops and restaurants.

Loved how close this was to the beach and the little shops, it made everything so easy especially with the parking. The pool and jacuzzi were great my kids had a blast, and the location was a close proximity to good food and the atmosphere around the boardwalk and the pier.
