We were missing the microwave plate and they immediately changed the whole microwave. The staff were extremely kind and regularly asked us if we were having issues and how we were doing in the town. Absolutely loved staying there and plan to stay there again.

The room was very clean and it was nice to have a kitchenette and to be able to check in early. However, the tile floor in the kitchen & bath was just mopped right before we checked in and was VERY SLIPPERY and I slipped and almost fell, which could have been VERY BAD!!! A warning would have been nice. Or at least a Wet Floor sign in the room.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
We had a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean, the shower pressure was good, the water was hot, and the beds were comfortable. Linen, soap and shampoo were provided, but I recommend bringing hairdryer, moisturizer etc. with you. The room we were in had a microwave, and medium sized fridge, larger than the regular hotel mini-fridge. There was also a gas range, but no utensils. If you're booking the junior suite, and plan on cooking, bring utensils with you. However, there are plenty of places nearby to eat, and that's what we did. Quiet place, not too far from the boardwalk, wouldn't mind staying there again.
