a reflective stay
convenient locationhelpful staffnice varietyindoor pool
I found the location quite convenient, especially the easy access to the boardwalk. the staff were generally helpful, always ready to assist with directions and information. Their smiles were a constant welcome. the breakfast buffet had a nice variety, and i did appreciate the fresh fruit options each morning. i also enjoyed the indoor pool, a good alternative on cooler days.
The room décor felt slightly dated. It could use a refresh. i think some modernization would benefit the overall experience.
