Perfect for a family vacation! We were happy with our room and the service! It was located so close to many things and it was all walkable. We also enjoyed using the indoor pool especially since the weather wasn't the greatest the whole time we were there. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved it! The room was great, with all the amenities you would need, plus a nice big fridge. It’s directly on the boardwalk in walking distance to everywhere. We booked it bc it’s pet friendly and it was a great place for our pup to vacation with us. Rooms aren’t carpeted either, which is smart for a pet friendly room on the beach! They have a nice restaurant as well. Carts are was

The overall stay was good. Front desk staff needs to work on communicating better. I had several different people call to either confirm my stay, after i was alreadh checked in, or to confirm the pet fee which had already been taken care of at the time of check in. Otherwise, it was great! Staff was very friendly.
