True. They both have ups and downs. But, good luck getting any of those people you meet back to your room at the HI.

Chateau is not quite at the epicenter of the action, but you've got Harpoon Harry's, Latitude's, Days Inn, Ramada, Islander and Hooters nearby.

Another option is the HoJo at Boardwalk. Next to the clubs AND a relaxed security staff.
