It was beautiful we could watch the sunrise from our balcony and the sunset. The staff were very nice. The room was clean. Very cool to know we joined a guest list with the Beatles who stayed there after performing in Atlantic City. Unfortunately, no photos.The only question I have is one ply toilet paper?

The view from our balcony was spectacular! The sunrises and sunsets made the trip. The fact that there were separate sleeping and living areas was great. The room was clean. We liked the small kitchenette. Hopefully we will stay again next fall.

This is a wonderful hotel….. good location, facilities, and staff. The front desk, Marshall, went over and beyond to help me when I could not access my room. He was friendly, professional, and helpful. The only clitch was when I asked about a nearby restaurant (the hotel restaurant was closed), he could only direct me to the taco place across the street stating I would need to walk several blocks for anything else. I asked about the place I had seen within the same block as the hotel. He stated that was attached to a hotel. I went there on my own, The Cricket Club…. Live music, great food, friendly bar! Highly recommend!!! Went to breakfast at the at the hotel….. The omelet was hsrfly cooked!! My room had an outside entrance. Assuming since clocks had just been changed, outside lights were still on old schedule . Walkway was very dark and “scary” until lights came on later in the evening. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. My comments are meant to be helpful not complaining. I will be back!!
