Labor day weekend at the beach
Great location right on the beach. Close enough to walk to the boardwalk and restaurants - about 20min walk. No sidewalk, just bike path in road. A few restaurants within 10min walk. Far enough away to be quiet location. Room was on 3rd floor - view of the pool bldg roof, but still a beach view. A couple places available to rent beach chairs and umbrellas and have them set up on the beach for you. My only complaint is the lock on balcony door was broken. Front desk said they'd put in a maintenance request, but no one ever came and did not fix it.

Was clean and comfortable. Oceanview balcony. Bathroom was spotless. Only problem somewhat was parking. Not enough spots. There was 'alternate' parking. We did not have to go there as we always seemed to get the last spot. No 'continental breakfast.

The hotel was very clean and family friendly, loved the ocean front view and only having just steps from the beach, the location was awesome close to the boardwalk and shopping, also because I have arthritis loved having a walk in shower and a very comfortable bed, my family and I are looking forward to spending another vacation at this hotel.
