The Boardwalk hotel was in a great location! It was close to many restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. Our hotel room was clean and very spacious for 2 people! The hotel staff promptly responded to any questions that were emailed to them! Thank you for a great stay!

NA - Friendly reminder, reserve parking at the time of your booking! Parking is extremely limited!

"Janky."

5.0

The rooms are beautifully designed and you can tell someone put thought into the initial design.

The initial design is poorly executed. I’m a hospitality professional and from the broken light switches to the burnt out light bulbs along with the spotty communication with staff but ironically accompanied by a fairly comprehensive text-based automated program, the word that ultimately came to mind for this place was “janky.”

"Stylish, comfy and cozy!"

10.0

New, convenient location, was easy to find the street parking. Loved how comfy the bed was and all the appliances were new and cute. Great coffee too!

I was a bit cold and I couldn’t get enough heat from the ac / heater unit but it wasn’t a problem.
