Hotel common areas are nice and clean. Nothing like the pictures posted, but still adequate. Individual rooms are spacious and provide comfort away from home. The staff was helpful and did their best to accommodate our needs. My only complaints were (1) the parking, which was very tight given the amount of rooms/guests and (2) the pool is very tiny and fills up quickly, as it is shared with the neighboring hotel.

We stayed with our 5 year old & 7 month old & really enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and it was in a super convenient location with only being about a 4 minute walk to the boardwalk. Free parking was wonderful as a lot of hotels in WW will still chair you parking daily. The room was clean for the most part with only a couple of marks on the wall and we did notice that there was a large bathroom floor tile super loose when you stepped out of the shower but we just stepped around it so it was fine. The pool was nice & clean and was a nice addition to the stay as loading up and getting to the beach was just too much with a baby and small child. We definitely plan on staying again!
