Dennis, the staff member on evenings, was by far the best in customer service that I've ever experienced in a hotel setting and beyond. My family and I felt welcomed and will definitely be staying at this establishment in the future.

this hotel is great because it’s located across from the beach and the boardwalk. Easy access to all dining. The hotel has limited parking so once we found a spot, we didn’t move from it all weekend because there was no need to since everything was around the corner. Will most definitely stay here again.
