"Love the location. Great view, safe, and on the boardwalk. Only complaints are the sewage smell once you leave the room (smell started to get into the room toward the end of the week) and also had a kitchenette with only a pot for the stove and two plates. We were also an end unit across from the trash chute so maybe that is why the smell? Didn’t leave my parking spot once I paid for hotel parking because spots are limited. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Worth it for the location. Bubba, Katie, Elena, and Mikey are exceptional employees. Despite my small complaints, I would definitely stay there again."
