The staff is friendly and courteous. The rooms were very clean, and the breakfast was fairly good, except Greek yogurt would be preferable to the sugary variety. My only complaints was the lack of towels! There were none at the pool, and when I requested some, the attendant brought only four, despite several people swimming. I assume they have a big problem with towels being stolen for beach use and not returned. Although I booked two rooms, one with three occupants and one with two occupants, each room only had two bath, hand and wash towels.. The location is about a 15 minute walk from the boardwalk. Parking was valet only during our stay (April 2025). There doesn't seem to be any eateries or stores in the immediate walk-in distance. The hotel was very clean and well kept.

We tried to check in a couple of hours early but room wasn’t ready. The staff was being trained and made it seem like maybe we didn’t have a room despite having a reservation. Then corrected themselves and said our room may not be ready by check in time. The hotel was quiet. We passed by breakfast which was busy but still manageable. There was a 7-11 near the hotel. We found parking outside so we didn’t have to valet our car. The hotel is fairly new so facilities were clean and modern. Overall was a great stay
