This place was awesome!! Right on the boardwalk so everything is in walking distances. Loved the free parking, and all the shopping and within the hotel itself. Loved the live music while sitting in my balcony, but was always quiet by 10pm which was perfect!

Excellent Hotel, looking forward to future visits

The hotel was clean and right on the boardwalk. Our room had a balcony and we could listen to live music all day Sat. The room itself was well maintained, bed was comfortable. It took a minute to get the AC right, but it was still very comfortable. There were several shops/restaurants within walking distance.
