    Couldn't have asked for a better location. Boardwalk and beach were directly across the street. A 2 minute walk from the hotel and we were at the main entrance. The staff was super friendly and allowed us to check in early so we could park in their parking lot while we enjoyed the boardwalk. We were also able to keep our car parked after checkout so we could enjoy the beach for a few hours. The rooms were beautifully updated with nice decor, as well as a microwave and mini fridge in room.
