The room was fine, smelled very strongly of cleaning products when we first arrived. The hot tub and pool were nice but we had a stranger walk in our room, we believe it to be someone who worked at the hotel as they had a key and when we spoke to the front desk the man just said it was his fault and he’d comp us.

Super close to the boardwalk. I love it because it was pet friendly & I was able to have my husky with me. Walking distance to the boardwalk. There’s a super cute local coffee shop in walking distance as well. Check-in was easy. My room wasn’t actually available & the front desk gave me an accessible room which provided more room for my dog so it worked out well! Plenty of parking spaces too. The room was clean.
