"Overall the stay was great everyone was extremely friendly and helpful even the secuirty gaurds. Veiw from the room/balcony is amazing, i stayed on the 7th floor. Only minor thing i didnt like was that parking was across the street. Not a big deal at all for us we didnt use our car as everything we did was within walking distance. Crossing the street here though was very easy they have a crosswalk right there with no wait time. They do have a vallet service for 5 more dollars than self parking....

Beautiful View...and a short walk to Boardwalk!

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (251)
"We really enjoyed staying at this property. The balcony is gigantic and has wonderful views of the river. The home itself is much larger than it appears in the pictures. The bedrooms are huge, everything is perfectly clean, kitchen is well stocked with equipment, and the furniture (including the beds) is very comfortable. The owner was very accessible and responded immediately to any question we had. My only slight complaint is the description that it is "5 houses from the boardwalk" is a little...
