We were there on a family vacation and booked oceanview rooms. Two of the rooms were corner rooms and they were so spacious we loved them. Everyone was so friendly and the hotel was very well located to walk to restaurants or entertainment on the boardwalk. We would stay here again.

Ocean view was as described, from the side of the building, between building and roof tops. Could also see a bit of the boardwalk and sunset over the roof tops from the other window in the room. Did not use the pool or hot tub but it looked well maintained. Great location with the ability to walk most places. Onsite restaurant and bar was very quiet with typical bar food. Andrea at the bar was very friendly.
