The staff here are very friendly and highly attentive to your needs. They went above and beyond.

Oceanview was a stretch of a description as it was only when you opened your door from the walkway. Breakfast was pretty much grab and go. The water pressure in the rooms was very weak. The curtains were not sufficient to block out the walkway lights. The pool was extremely small. On the positives, the staff were very nice and the location is safe and convenient to the boardwalk. The AC in the room was superb and the bed was comfortable.
