“The location near the boardwalk stands out, making it easy to enjoy the attractions. While the staff earns praise for their friendliness, some guests may find the accommodations basic. Parking can be challenging, a common trade-off for such a central spot. In my opinion, it's a pragmatic choice prioritizing location over luxury.”
