It best that all the rooms do have a view toward the ocean because the two properties on either side are charitably described as " awful dumps"

While have no disagreements with the description and service as listed by the OP, I for one am quite hesitatant in returning to this property until the surrounding area has improved considerably.
Especially since the hotel has absolutely no grounds other than that the hotel structure itself.
Therein lies my reservations as to the eventual success of this hotel. On the two ocasions I have been there ( both on weekends) its appears to have had a conspiciously low occupancy.

My thoughts converge on what is the point in staying at nice hotel and have the desire venture nowwhere else besides across the street to the beach. ( Where costs $25 to rent a chair and beach umbrella I might add since none are provided by the Atlantic)
