What a great place that was close to the festival to go back and forth as needed. We were close to a ton of restaurants and ships, the location was everything. My son & hubby ate at the pool bar and said the food was good. The front desk workers were great, very friendly. We'd totally go back

This is my second time staying here and I will definitely be back! I stayed last year and had another great experience. The location is great, right off of the boardwalk. The pool bar is also a plus. The rooms do have some areas of improvement but nothing that would prevent me from coming back.
