"Our first impression: the room has a “beach life” vibe. Calm pastels and nautical decor. We did enjoy the hot tub/spa soon after check in. So relaxing. (At home we have a lone shower. ) We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and boardwalk areas, in a pleasant walk, and returned to the room. Our hotel had closed the pool for the season, though their hot tub was open. We didn’t try this since we had a private tub in our room. On Saturday more shops, restaurants,"
