Albert, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is in a great location, very clean and friendly staff. The pool is heated but small, max cap is 12. The parking garage is valet and only one car per room. This was a problem since we had a family suite and needed two cars.

Barbara, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We love the location of the place which is close to the beach and the Boardwalk. Please know that you need to pay for parking per day. We found multiple spiders in the bath tub during the shower which was scary. Please double check your invoice to avoid food charges that you did not make at the Bistro.
