8/10 Good
"The view from our room was amazing and could see the largest Fiddle ever. The beds were very comfortable. However, the shower head provided little function and needed to be replaced or increase water pressure. The breakfast was very good and our server, Carol was friendly and efficient. It is best to park by the front door and not the two lower parking lots as getting your luggage in can be troublesome. Friendly front deck. We enjoyed our stay as right out the front door you can walk to several nice restaurants, shops and boardwalk."
