    We didn't know there was a game room there until the day before we left, for the price of food in the restaurant on location was too high. My daughter and granddaughter are three different dishes they didn't like and didn't send back to the kitchen when they ordered. Pool was closed too early on weekends. I was there for two weekends during my stay. Had to order door dash after 10pm to eat when we returned from our outings.

    The view, lazy river, pool and indoor pool. Except they closed at 10pm. Close to Aquarium & Boardwalk as well as the pier to fish off.

    Most staff were nice, but some of the staff could be a little more friendly and personable. Pool was freezing cold. We usually stay in the summer, but many days it was 90° outside, so im not sure how it was that cold every day. I realize it's a family hotel, and I have kids myself, but maybe post somewhere to NOT slam doors at all hours of the day and night. It may have been adults slamming doors, but on vacation we want to sleep in, not be scared awake due to slammed doors. Maybe think of Happy Hour for drinks?? Or lower price for the kids? Special cup or something? Kids love to get the virgin drinks/milkshakes, but are disappointed when they cost 15 for 1 drink.

    Location is great, love walking down the beach to the boardwalk. Hotel both inside and out is clean and kept clean. 5th floor has amazing views! Breakfast buffet good. I like how the hot items were changed up so its not the same thing every morning. Sharing the amenities between Holiday Inn and the Hilton is awesome as well.
