    The valet service was nice. The pool was amazing and was also heated. The kids loved it and did not want to leave. Would definitely be coming back next time. The boardwalk is about a 6 minute walk.

    The pool was great. Proximity to everything. I have health problems so being so close to everything was great. Not having to drive everywhere was a big plus.

    Andrea at the front desk was very helpful when we had a family situation and had to modify our reservation. I truly appreciate her willingness to help! The hotel is lovely, great location, and the staff are very helpful

    Would have preferred a regular parking option vs just valet. Was kind of a pain to have to wait at valet anytime we wanted to come or go… or get something out of the car.
