Ez check in

The check in was super fast and easy. Room was clean with a spa tub and a tv in the bathroom. Free breakfast was decent, but the waffle maker was broken. Starbucks, McDonald's and jersey mikes right across the street.

Clean and Convenient Hotel

We essentially stayed for a comfortable, safe and clean room. There are restaurants nearby which were very helpful. There was a light show in the harbor area about 3 miles away with restaurants too is very nice. Met our expectations
