Average at best, subpar at worst.
Pros:

Was able to book a room.

Cons:

Someone tried to break into my car (lubricant was found on my front passenger door handle which is used to shimmy open doors/windows). Cost was high for location. You have to pay for parking. This location hosts random events in the downstairs lobby, ballroom, and bar, which were loud and unpleasant to the paying guests.

Some Good - Some Not So Good
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel for our family reunion. My husband and I enjoyed the hotel overall. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The shuttle to the boardwalk was a nice experience. My opinion is the restaurant needs improvement in service. We dined there the evening we arrived. I was disappointed the food we were served was warm, not hot as it should have been. After dinner asked for coffee and was told there was none as they would have to brew a large pot. What restaurant doesn't have coffee? It appears to be short staffed some days. I observed one person taking care of the bar, taking and placing orders; which slows service to other patrons. Our stay was four days but had housekeeping one day near the end of our stay. I did bring this to the attention of the front desk.
