2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

It's not the same as a few years ago. Very empty. I just didn't feel comfortable in the building.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

This area seemed abandoned. Most of the store fronts were empty. Also, it was not clear at all how to access the boardwalk because there was minimal signage.
