The property appears to have been renovated or it is a new build. This is a nice property. The hotel is located across the street from the beach and near the Boardwalk. So convenient.

The room smelled clean when we first came in but the shower floor was dirty with hair and sand. There was no turn down service after our first night and we needed to ask for clean towels. They advertised rooms with balconies but we did not have. Pool is super small. The roof top lounge is nice.

Great property to stay a few nights, and enjoy the boardwalk, beach and pier, all within walking distance. Room was very clean, very functional with no issues. A bit small but that's OK. We were outside enjoying the weather and environs too much.
