"This trip was a family trip during our 2 children’s spring break!! The breakfast in the morning has great options for the entire family (cold and hot foods). The pool and gym are close to each other. The hotel has valet vehicle service, so we’d just left our van at hotel and enjoyed walking to the boardwalk twice, even our 12 year old daughter and 8 year old son, didn’t complain about the walk. Great Staff and service!! We’ll be back for sure! "
