    The staff was extremely accommodating with us. We needed to have a late check out which they agreed and even let us stay a bit longer since our baby wasn’t feeling too well and didn’t want to leave. It was so helpful for us and didn’t expect them...

    The location is great. You can walk to the Boardwalk. The rooms are updated and the front desk staff are funny and very helpful.
