We stayed in a 2bdr, 2bthr efficiency on the 6th floor overlooking the pools & beach/ocean. Room was spacious, cool enough, comfortable & clean. Elevators did their jobs & pool/grounds were well maintained. Parking was ample & I loved that we were literally steps from the beach & other things in WWC. Also, it was a quick 15 min (or less) drive to cape may. Would definitely stay again

The only complaint was that there was very little Lounge chairs available around the pool area.they had lots of sections with Cabanas and tables, that needed to be reversed for a fee. And also they said that towels were available by the pool area but when I asked them, l was told that only the are available for the people that Rented the Cabanas. I founded that Adds.
