"Centrally located walking distance to the wharf and Boardwalk. Beautiful ocean view. Cool retro room furnishings. Nice shower. Great balcony. Very nice staff. Wonderful morning breakfast room service you order the night before and select delivery time. Like the unique beach writing on sand in the morning (I think that is done by the hotel) Only one bad thing, the 1970's style noisy wall unit Heater/AC. Sounded like the surf crashing or a train rumbling by every time it went on. Really? ...
