Everything was great and the room had features that I can really appreciate. For instance, a sink in the bathroom and outside the bathroom door. Even something as thoughtful as having a card dropbox by the door next to the parking The only downside was the mattress. Both nights I woke up with my lower back and hips aching. I know it was the mattress because I could get up and walk around and it didn’t bother me, but when I laid down again, the ache returned. I ended up sleeping on the sofa in...

We had a great stay with no problems. The room was fresh and clean upon arrival and the bed was really comfortable. Free wi-fi was available. A simple breakfast of bagels and coffee/tea was provided in the morning and Calvin (?) was extremely helpful and friendly. It was easy to find the hotel and parking was in an adjacent lot. Bathroom was clean with good amenities. Check in/out was easy and we would stay there again in the future.

This is a nice hotel, great location for families; you're very close to the boardwalk and the wharf. I will def be back. The sunrise from the balcony was a nice touch, and at night, when it's quiet, you can hear the ocean. Everything was clean, and the staff was very kind and helpful. Popcorn was available in the afternoons, and coffee and tea were available all the time. Oh yeah, the breakfast is a nice addition as well. We ended up walking to downtown for dinner, which wasn't too far.
