We stayed for 2 nights feb 11 & 12. Hotel was actually nicer than I expected inside and out. Everything looked really clean and well kept and the pool looked nice too. We arrived early Saturday about 10am and our room was not ready, but they gave us a parking pass. So we parked our truck and off we went. We spent the day walking and bar hopping along the board walk and did not make it back to the hotel till about 5pm. I had asked for an upstairs room and they gave me a large room upstairs, close to the office, the stairs and the street...Our room was updated and I thought quite nice. The bed was comfy and we had a fridge, microwave and a coffee maker. Location of the hotel was excellent. Once we parked our truck (in a covered parking spot) we walked everywhere and did not use the truck once. Lots of places close by to eat or stop in and have a drink. Lots more places closer to Belmont park (the roller coaster) if you enjoy walking-which we do.

Tips-Bring your own coffee, filters and coffee cups. You have a coffee maker in the room, but you need to bring everything else.

If you go to the office to get coffee and sweet rolls in the morning. Bring the tray from your room. They don't have plates or trays in the office if you are trying to carry more than one thing.

Dont stay in a room close to the road--even a Saturday night, off season was loud, loud, loud. Some of the cars sounded like they were driving through the room and the kids coming back from the bars sounded like they were also in the room at times. I went down Sunday to see about changing rooms and the girl at the front desk was great and said they could change me to the other end, but that Sunday night would be much quieter. She also offered to help us move our stuff which i thought was cool. We decided to just stay put and she was right Sunday was much quieter. This was not a deal breaker for us, but something you should be prepared for. Never felt unsafe and the hotel seemed pretty booked with a pretty good bunch of folks
