This hotel is located on the north end of the strip, 6 miles away from the Boardwalk. That was fine for me because I had a car. There is no shuttle to the boardwalk. You can not take towels out of the hotel to the beach which is located across the street from the hotel. It is a 2 block walk from the hotel to the street, then another long walk from the street through condominiums to the beach. (The beach is worth it, not at all crowded, family atmosphere). If you have small children with a lot of things to carry, chairs, toys, umbrella, holding hands of children, this can be daunting. There is no place to pull up and drop off your family and or things to get to the beach. You have to lug it all and walk through the very busy street which is literally a highway.
Staff is friendly and informative. There is free tea and coffee in the lobby area near the snack shop. The Denny's is attached to the restaurant but it is filthy, loud and service was poor. Go elsewhere. The rooms in the hotel were average. They put us in a handicap accessible room which we did not ask for. As a result of this the shower was floor level and the floor would be soaked constantly. There is no made service and you have to go to the front desk for towels, soap etc. The elevator was filthy and throughout our stay it was never cleaned. The pool is indoors. The pool area was so hot and stuffy with poor ventilation we never swam in it. There are washers and dryers available however they only take quarters and soap is not available for purchase. However there is a Right Aid in the parking lot where the strip mall is located and you can buy some there (as well as beach accessories). Cost per load to wash or dry is $2. The room was so noisy we were awaken all night and early morning with people from nearby rooms, talking, throwing up, yelling etc. I would NOT recommend staying here if you need to rest. This hotel is overpriced for what you get.
