The hotel is nice and the cleaning crew’s excellent. we needed a kettle and called from deal and was always told they will bring one up. It took a cleaning crew to find out Electric Kettles are for upper floors 10&up. Next time take your kettle .

Place was good because the Area was ok and somewhat of a walking distance to the boardwalk. Entrance door or door frame had massive gap on top and bottom.
