Breakfast was good. We liked that it included eggs, and breakfast meat for the protein. Location was great. Very close, an easy walk to the pier, and the boardwalk is nearby the pier.

    I like how close it was to the boardwalk, yet just a bit away from the boardwalk to beat the crowds. The swimming pool was very clean. The rooms were clean, and it’s not loud at night.

    Great location as a home base there for 3 nights. Good breakfast in walking distance (across the street and a short walk to the Picnic Basket). The swimming pool was excellent, and the 2 hot tubs were clean and relaxing. There were laundry facilities and that was a game changer, as it was a mid-trip stay for us. The people at the front desk were nice and remedied a situation from our first night. We were given a discount on that night and a room upgrade at no extra cost due to issues in our first room.

    Perfect location, really close to the beach! Swimming pool and hot tub are a plus. It's a pity we didn't have the time to use the facilities.
