Steps away from boardwalk
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Everything was just renovated and it's looks great. There is construction across the street from the other hotel being built but it didn't impact us in any way. We spent most of our time at the boardwalk and this was the closest hotel.

Great location- across the street from the board walk. The room was not that clean. The bathroom shower had some mold. We had a partial view room and sadly our view was a building that was under construction.

Needs Better Communication
There is a large construction project going on across the street that was very noisy. The hotel staff offered no information as to parking fees, location of ice machines, how to use the TV or thermostat, or local venues to visit. The receptionist on checking was rude. The room was very clean and comfortable and maid service was very good
