The best location beach front. Sitting outdoors, the room was beautifully decorated & had all the amenities needed, and the breakfast options were great. Nice boardwalk right out front along the entire length of the beach & totally recommend Moonstone beach cafe for dinner with really nice ocean views

Great location right across from the ocean boardwalk. Staff was very friendly and the overall room accommodations were excellent. They do need to fix the overhead ceiling fan which was making too much noise to sleep. Please note, that there are few dining options around this area.
