"Friendly staff, clean rooms, pool is great & lots of lounge chairs & room to play. Right next to the beach, which is much quieter & calmer than hotels close to the boardwalk. Breakfast is nice. Parking is great, huge lots & can always find a spot. Water pressure in the bathrooms could be stronger & water could be hotter at times but overall great family friendly hotel, will be back"

"Traveled with kids and we enjoyed ourselves overall. The pool and proximity to the rooms were perfect. We couldn't enjoy the beach as there's an overwhelming amount of jellyfish in the Ocean currently. My 7 year old got stung, so I wish there were signs to alert visitors. My only problem with the resort is that it's kid friendly, yet there was no emergency stations. However , once alerted that my child was stung, the staff were super responsive and helpful with suggesting and providing remedies. Overall great, family friendly resort. I would stay again, I would just do my research on jellyfish season."

"This hotel is very conveniently located next to the boardwalk and major things you want to experience. The 2 restaurants in the hotel are very good and reasonably priced being down by the ocean. Hotel boarders the sand, you can't get any closer than that. Pool is heated!!"
