“1 block from the boardwalk. Rooms were redone and look great. A/C was cold. Pretty quiet too. Reasonable price and most excellent front desk service. Very very clean and the maid service is most excellent. It's a hidden gem. Will be back. God bless you all for making my visit spectacular and safe. God bless your business.”
