I have been staying at this hotel since 2001, and always enjoyed it. Having been away for awhile, I am amazed at the renovations. The reception area has been transformed. Cute, clean, spacious, and the best food area ever. The breakfast made it unnecessary to leave for anything. From fresh fruit to made to order waffles. Great little dining area,... more

What a breath of fresh air! We stayed overnight with our family, including a small well-behaved pup, in a spacious and clean room overlooking the Boardwalk.... more
