The hotel is superbly located right on the boardwalk, offering stunning views and convenience to nearby attractions. The rooms are modern, comfortable, and feature a spa bath, making for a luxurious stay. The service is top-notch with attentive housekeeping, but some minor points affect the overall experience. Dining is satisfactory with delicious scones, but limited options may leave you craving more variety. The facilities are great, but a few upgrades could further enhance the guest experience.

I couldn't ask for a better location; being directly across from the boardwalk makes exploring the area a breeze. It's as close as you can get to the beach without staying right on it.
