We had to make several room changes because we didn’t all show up at the same time; or even the same day. We couldn’t have asked for more accommodating people. They were so nice about helping us. My mother, 86 years old, loves staying here because the people are so nice and there is an indoor jacuzzi which helps her pain. They didn’t even complain when all 40 of us, from three different hotels, showed up there to take a group photo. We greatly appreciate there staff.

We spent one night at this hotel celebrating my sons 16th birthday. We were able to get 2 rooms, one with 3 beds and one with 2 beds to accomodate my son, his friends, my husband and myself. I was very impressed by the self check in kiosk and the ease of use. It was so nice to be able to get 2 rooms right next to each other. The indoor pool and spa were perfect for relaxing and the pool was deep enough to get some laps in for excersize. They had a mini golf course and corn hole boards to play with. Its within walking distance of the boardwalk. We will definitley come back and stay at this hotel!
