“In my opinion, the big draw here is the location, right on the boardwalk at 12th Street, and the pool is a definite plus; free coffee in the lobby and beach tags add value. Rooms have the essentials-microwave, fridge, and decent showers-making it a practical choice. However, light sleepers might want a poolside room to avoid street noise.”
