This hotel is a gem! The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach and with plenty of nearby dining options. The rooms are spotless and cozy, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. My only gripe was the limited breakfast choices. The pool area is a highlight, impeccably maintained and perfect for relaxing. The pricing is fair, but the separate fee for Wi-Fi is a downside.

The hotel is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful retreat close to the bustling boardwalk. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a relaxing stay. The service is top-notch with attentive staff. However, the lack of dining options on-site is a downside. The location is ideal for beach lovers and those seeking convenience. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a touch of luxury.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the beach and near great restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the limited breakfast options. The pool area was well-kept and enjoyable, and overall, the price was fair, although paying extra for Wi-Fi was a bit of a letdown.
