"The property is in a nice location and close to the boardwalk. The room was decent but definitely not “resort” quality. Definitely do not eat the food here.

"The Kind Studio with Kitchen was great! While there are no dishes or utensils supplied automatically, we asked and were given a tote full of a few items which was enough for us to enjoy meals in the room rather than eating in a restaurant. The room was very clean, spacious and bright. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space (patio with table and chairs). Staff was friendly and helpful as well. I would highly recommend this hotel to others visiting the area."
