After cruise detox!

I think this has to be the nicest hotel on the boardwalk! It was so clean, easy to find/get to, room was huge, staff was so nice and gave us ideas on where to grab dinner, the beds are so comfortable, the balcony is huge and overlooks the ocean, the pool is heated and super clean and they were giving out frisbees! I didn't want to leave! I can't wait to go back!
