This was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at, all things considered. I was there for the final day of my vacation, which was a Monday. That meant that the Boardwalk was almost completely deserted during the daytime hours. Surprisingly, there was not much more activity after dark, although the restaurants that were open did have steady business. More than three of the restaurants were closed. The hotel itself was very comfortable - cozy, I would say. Very tastefully decorated throughout and I am sorry I didn't stay here sooner, as I have been visiting this area for at least 20 years.
