Was a bit nervous booking here with a review I read. But we had an excellent experience, we were checked in, in less than 5 minutes, very close to the boardwalk and clean. We did get the balcony view and it was really nice. Would definitely recommend.

The room and view were lovely. The staff was kind. Our biggest complaint is that at check in time, only 1 person was working so there was a line. Then, our room wasn't ready, and other customers were waiting on rooms too. We were comped a night of parking and given a room upgrade when our room still wasn't ready. It was just hard to hear when your family is tired after a day of traveling.

This place was great! My family loved the room and the location. The staff was amazing, the room was amazing. The only complaint I have, is the parking. Not meant for a big vehicle to park there. This has nothing to do with the staff there, just the area itself. Overall, this place was great and we will be staying here again.

Wonderful location, clean rooms, but the rooms have LV flooring and you can hear ppl above walking around all night long. We could also hear water running all night long (like when a hose is on, or maybe we were next to the water heater room) Also, this is not the place to stay if you want a nice big pool. The pool is very small. The staff was very nice and everything was clean so I would stay here again
