The location was perfect. Despite it being a busy weekend, the property was quiet. The only reason why I gave it a 4 out of 5 is that there was an ant issue. Other than that, I’d definitely book again!

Casablanca is very convenient to go beach and boardwalk. I do wish the flooring wasn’t sticky and cracking noise when walking throughout the room . I loved my night stay and so did my family.
