My family has been staying here since 1982 and have been impressed by the improvements that have been made over the last couple of years. All of the rooms in the tower building have now been redone as well as a few rooms in the main building. The newly renovated premium rooms are very nice and definitely worth the extra money. The hotel, as of last year, is under new management and I cannot say enough positive things about the new manager. One day a thunderstorm popped up and she went out to the outdoor pool and told the people in the pool that a storm was coming up and that they should get out of the pool. The outdoor pools are well kept but the indoor pool area could really use some updating and TLC. Besides some maintenance issues here and there, this hotel is ideally located along the boardwalk and is quite reasonably priced. It is not the Hilton or Ritz Carlton but it certainly serves its purpose. Be sure to ask for a premium room and you will be fine.
