Ernesto, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed here for a night midweek and it worked out great. The location is super convenient—a super short walk to the boardwalk and lots of restaurants nearby, so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. Parking was included and there were plenty of spaces when we got there, which was a nice bonus. The room itself was clean, nothing fancy, but perfect for a short stay.
Berlina, 1-night trip
