What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 477 guest reviews
The Keystone Boardwalk Inn and Suites earns consistently warm reviews for its unbeatable central location — steps from the boardwalk, restaurants, and shops — and its genuinely friendly, helpful staff. However, the property is openly acknowledged as aging, with dated rooms, worn carpeting, weak Wi-Fi, and a complete absence of elevators that poses a real challenge for less mobile guests or those with heavy luggage. Guests who prioritise convenience and value over modern amenities tend to leave satisfied.
