What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 560 guest reviews
Boardwalk Inn earns consistently strong praise for its prime location, cleanliness, and friendly staff, with many guests highlighting the balcony experience and easy walkability to attractions. However, recurring gripes about the lack of a proper breakfast restaurant, no complimentary breakfast, limited in-room amenities, and some outdated elements suggest the property has room to improve its value proposition beyond the location.
