Already planning our next stay at this hotel. The vibe that this property gives is something special. We can’t wait to s
Pros:

This property was exceptional. From from the front door to the the back door off to the boardwalk. Everything was meticulously clean and it smelled divine. The pool was sparkling clean and the water temperature was perfect. The hot tub water temperature was perfect. The pool atmosphere was perfect. The lady who checked us in was so kind and courteous with great customer service. The lady who checked us out when above and beyond when I asked how long the hotel had been there. She googled it and let me know the year it was built. Love that customer service.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing! The only disappointment is that we had to go home!

Convenient location. Balcony is great! Great beds!
Pros:

Very close to everything!

Cons:

For someone that has a very sensitive nose, the room freshener that they spray on the carpet was very strong.

Had a very nice stay. Hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating with any questions
Pros:

Hotel was easily accessible and located near water view. Heated pool was a nice touch.

Cons:

The bed in the room was very uncomfortable. Room had a refrigerator but no microwave for heating leftovers that were taken back to the room. Didnt like that the Spa jets did not work.
