The place was convenient and nice.
Pros:

The location was very convenient walk distance from the beach and boardwalk

Cons:

The elevator only one and no stairs. Making it a little harder when you really had to go up or down.

Great location, nice pool, not a real continental breakfast.
Pros:

Location was great. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Really enjoyed the heated pool

Cons:

When I book a hotel I always look for places with breakfast included. I expected when advertised for a continental there would be some options like cereals, bagels etc. The only thing they had was one kind of pre packaged muffin and coffee from a machine that you can get at anytime. I feel as if they advertise for a breakfast it should be more than a packaged muffin, especially if people factor that into the budget of not have having to worry about breakfast because it is included in cost of hotel.
