Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were updated and clean, featuring two huge beds, making for a comfortable stay. The customer service truly impressed me with their attentive and friendly approach. The location of the hotel was convenient, being close to the river, several stores, and just a stone's throw away from the boardwalk. The dining options exceeded my expectations, especially with the included croissants for breakfast. On the downside, some aspects of the facilities could use improvement, but they did not significantly impact the stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, right by the riverside with the boardwalk just steps away. The rooms were updated, spacious, and spotlessly clean, making for a really comfortable stay. The customer service left a lasting impression on me with their attentiveness and friendliness. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the beef dishes were just okay. Overall, for the value I received, this stay was truly a great experience.
