The location to the Wharf and Boardwalk was great. The secure underground parking was also good. Clean (although the outside window had a huge spider web and was dirty), with friendly staff. One downside is the walls are thin so you can easily hear people.

Overall great stay. Hotel is clean and close to the beach. Parking in the underground garage can be challenging as the spaces are tight. The breakfast is good but the area it is served in is small and can get crowded. Overall we would stay again.

The hotel and our room were clean, and the staff was very friendly. The only negative thing was kind of a fluke, the elevator was unfortunately broken, and we had a room upstairs and the parking is in the garage, so it was somewhat of a pain hauling all of our luggage up multiple flights of stairs. But other than that issue our stay was good. The breakfast was fine, and you can't beat the location, about two blocks from the Boardwalk! We would definitely stay here again!
