6/10 Okay
"Sliding door opened to a stair well, why? So had to keep curtain closed which made the room darker. You could hear every bit of noise from nearby rooms, the toilets flushing, tv, people talking and door opening. Totally noisy rooms"

For a more active beach experience, consider kayaking or paddleboarding, especially in the calmer waters of Delaware Bay, accessible from areas like Higbee Beach.
