The room was nice, glad we were on the first floor, even though it was back in a hallway with no natural light. They have updated the rooms which were nice. The bathroom could use a nightlight since a really loud fan came on any time you turn the light on. Would definitely stay here again!

The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. Less than a block walk to Boardwalk. Mini fridge in room. Microwave in shared space on main level near ice machine. Hotel is very close to boardwalk and very close to Amusement rides. Rides are active with music until 10pm on weekends. If planning to sleep prior to this time request a room on the pool side or near Ocean Ave. Free parking at hotel was excellent.
