The hotel had a great location, just across the street from the Tanger Outlets and close to various shops and food places. While the rooms were somewhat comfortable, they did need some updates, especially the air conditioning. The service provided was decent, but I found it lacking in some areas. Overall, it offered good value for money, although a few things could be improved.
