Pleasant and comfortable.
Pros:

Large, comfortable room with an imaginative, great mural on the wall. Reception staff were helpful. Easy parking although needed to pay $25 extra. Easy walk to pier and boardwalk.

Cons:

Breakfast was self service, was limited and served in a crowded area and finished at 9. Sausages looked unappetising and no one was eating them. The shower taps didn’t turn off properly.
