Just offering our “take away”.

Bed was too soft for both of us. AND even front desk couldn’t get my Wifi to connect with iPhone 11, which I’ve never encountered a problem. As arrived @ 6 pm, needed to have dinner after 8 hr. drive.

Room was good - comfortable bed, VERY spacious (we had a 1BR suite. Staff was nice. Overall a bit of a dated feel. Outside of the boardwalk along the waterfront, the area wasn't particularly great - seemed a bit depressed.
